Dear people,
I have some photos that I would like to preserve in a digital form
and I thought of using a scanner for this.
Unfortunately, I my knowlegdge about scanners is zero and I have
already visited the sane project page, but could not decide what
would be a good purchase.
So, in light of this, I would like to ask you some recommendations
based on your experiences for scanners that are fully functional
under Linux, from open-source friendly companies.
I am open to recommendations for other devices, like the
multifunctional devices, but I'm not sure if they are adequate and
would give me the best "bang for the buck".
I currently have an HP OfficeJet G85(xi) and the scanner works great in
Linux, using hpijs, hpoj and sane. My brother also has an HP PSC 5xx
that works equally well, though it requires the newer hplip software.
It's all software available in Debian, though I don't remember how much
of it is in Sarge. I am currently running Sid.
HTH,
Jacob
