Re: Review: Linux vs. Windows 98 Scanning

| Well, I set up the same scanner on Mandrake 7.2. and i have to agree, the install was not easy. but i did it. and it works great. i spent time looking into which scanners were supported well by Sane, and the Epson looked a good match. I'd suggest the same policy to anyone else looking for a scanner for linux (e.g. just because umax is a decent cheap brand under windoze doesn't mean the scanner will work well with linux. they have a proprietary interface which is not open. shame on umax).
anyway, like i said, it works just great. and it was pretty much the last thing i had to get right to switch fully to linux. and i'm very happy to have done so!!!
cheers,
Andrew |
