[Linux-disciples] USB scanners and Linux

[Adam Rosi-Kessel]

My understanding is that your safest bet is always an Epson.  I've had 
mixed luck with several scanners but have never tried the model you 
indicate.

If you can't find a definitive source that says "this exact model 
works well with Linux" I would just pick a different model.  There are 
a huge variety of scanners available; it should be easy enough to find 
one that is confirmed to work well.
