That depends entirely on the vintage of the product. I have a perfectly
good ScanJet 4600 that they won't even talk to me about. On the other
hand my wife's Photosmart 2575 All-in-one just worked when we plugged it
into Gutsy. But the Dell BIOS won't boot until we turn it off.

If this is a scanner, have you tried installing and using Kooka? What
version of Ubuntu are you using?

My wife is using Gutsy (7.10). But she already has the Photosmart
working on that. I use Slackware for all of my boxen. The only one with
X-Windows installed has the XFCE manager, since I found both Gnome and
KDE to have way more overhead than I need.

I had never seen any references to Kooka before. What is it? Will it
work under XFCE?

I do not know, but I suppose it will.

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter. Kooka uses the SANE library. Looking
at the list of supported devices, the 4600 is one of nearly two dozen HP
models it explicitly states is NOT supported. Apparently HP never
released the documentation on the chips used in that model.

Thanks anyway,

Hello everybody,
Yes, this question would come from me too ! ;-)

Currently I own a very old Canon Canoscan 600 with SCSi interface.
Does one of you have some, hopefully good, experience with this model ?

If yes, I would like to hear about ...
... and of not: I have to decide a change to, looks like, a newer LIDE
too !? ;-))

TIA for your help and hints.
Cheers, svobi

I have a Plustek, Inc. OpticPro UT12/16/24 Scanner and it works great. I also use kooka with no prblems. I bought this one when I couldn get a HP scanner to work in Linux. I can´t remember the HP model, however, I do remember doing some research and discovered it was not supported. I think I paid $80.00 for the Plustek 3 or 4 years ago. Hope this helps.
