It was unbelivable. i didnt do anything, had sane from when i installed slack.. dint edit no .conf files, nothing.
xscanimage .. just worked.. it scans perfectly.

i vertanly recommend this scanner, it is small, nice image quality and doesnt need any external power (n676u).

This scanner has been completely supported via sane since the Fedora Core 2 days at least. With Fedora Core 3, it "just worked". Sane fully support this scanner.

I currectly use Kooka as the gui to scan with. I dare say the scanner may even work better in Fedora than in Windows.

I didn't give this a 10 only becuase it didn't scan my negatives to any useable degree. Although it wasn't designed to.
