Best Value Linux Scanner

hi all,

the mrs wants a color scanner - and i want it compatible with linux. i don't mind multi-function, but it has to be supported by linux in some reasonable fashion.

what do you suggest? i'm looking for decent quality and value pricing.

tia...

I've been very pleased with my Epson Perfection 1650.

Incidentally, I have a Canon Lide 60 aswell that works with Debian Testing --- no configuration needed.

Have a look here at the supported devices and then match them to those available at your local supplier.

Good luck.
