I'd say it's Christmas and most people aren't online.

Pick a scanner that suits your fancy and see if it's supported:

Thanks, that's just what I needed.* Anyone who is not online on
Christmas Eve is a woosie and probably has a life!* :-D

No I use a scanner too but the one you describe is in the trash and I don't remember its name(HP something about $30, 3 years ago), the one I am using now is with a printer (HP PSC 1410) all in one. Not flat at all but it works out of the box with Ubuntu.

Good luck finding your scanner, and maybe a lot of the list members are celebrating Christmas, give them some time.

In any case I need some direction on buying a flatbed scanner that will

I use Epson 640U


It works fine. I'm sure there are newer models that will work fine
too.

Mike:
Most of the scanners that I have used have worked.The only USB scanner
device that I have connected was a HP combo printer/scanner/copier. I have
used parrallel port and scsi. Specialty scanning devices such as high
resolution camera backs, film scanners will require more research.


Here is the main Linux scanner site.
http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl

Here is Linux USB
http://www.linux-usb.org/

Here is some Linux USB chatter.
http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/c122.html

Here is a start for Linux and scsi
http://www.scsi-planet.com/scsi-linux/

Hope this helps.

Thank you and thanks to all who took the time to answer.* I'm like the
two buzzards sitting in a tree, one says to the other "Patience h*ll,
I'm going to kill something."* :-)



Thanks again. (now where are those pills...)
