You can't go wrong with an Epson scanner. I have a 1660 and it works beautifully with the regular SANE driver and with the Linux drivers supplied by Epson itself!

Epson printers also seem to work especially consistently and well with free software.

Hello,

I believe you have solved a problem that has vexed me for days during which I have spent MANY hours in fruitless attempts to get my Epson Perfection 1660 Photo scanner running under Lindows 3.0. I have tried packages from Lindows CNR, Epson Kowa, Mozilla, MIT, etc. etc. The farthest I have ever gotten is to have sane-find-scanner locate the scanner. scanimage -L returns "no device found" as does everything else.

I would be eternally in your debt if you could send me an Email with a few hints about how you did the seemingly impossible. I am a long-time Microsoft user looking to gain some independence so I am strictly a neophyte with Linux and its various distributions.

My Email address is:
gadm@localnet.com

1000 Thanks !!
