The last time I got a new scanner I spent about a week
correlating the lists of scanners actually available for

Has anyone recently purchased a flatbed scanner with good
linux support? (I mostly want it for documents and such,
not photo or negative scanning).
The Canoscan LIDE 60 I wound up with at the end of the first
painful search has apparently died the real death. It doesn't
show up as a USB device at all. If it had a fuse, I'd say
it had blown it :-). Naturally they are up to LIDE 90 now
(60 no longer made), and the 90 isn't supported in sane.
Tom, I've had great luck so far with an Epson 1250-u. With xsane its done
every scan I ever asked it to do now for at least 5 years. While the model
numbers may increment so its likely a 1290-u by now, I suspect any of that
family would be a dropin replacement for it. Also, its a plustek at heart I
believe.
