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.


I am working on a project where I wanted the imaging element out of a scanner. But not knowing which one, I bought two scanners off of people on craigslist. Both worked without me doing anything with Fedora.

Just look here first:

It doesn't look good for the Canoscan LIDE 90
