On Tue, 06 Feb 2001, you wrote a message with subject &quot;choice of scanner&quot; :
<BR>
<EM>&gt;I can get my hands on either of these scanners. Which one is reccomended by the list for ease of setup with SANE, and picture quality?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;1. Epson Perfection 636U (usb)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;2. UMAX Astra 2200 (scsi)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;If the UMAX is out of stock, is the Epson a good choice?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;If you have any other suggestions which fall under $150 CAD ($100 USD), let me know. I already have a scsi card w/ a 68-pin external plug.
</EM><BR>
<P>Tried several scanners from the shop : Acer S2W 3300, HP 5300 Scanjet
<BR>
but wasn't able to get them going despite installing many patches and
<BR>
other stuff. Spent at least 3 days al together.
<BR>
<P>Then I bought an Epson 610 and it worked immediately, although with
<BR>
some little quirks in Color scanning: the last few scan lines are
<BR>
always gone.
<BR>
However, that doesn't affect the quality: I only have scan a few
<BR>
millimeters extra and postprocess the output with xv or imagick to get
<BR>
it right.
<BR>
<P>Also bought an Epson 1240 yesterday and that took me 10 minutes. I only
<BR>
had to add the vendor id to the scanner.h and recompile the scanner
<BR>
module in 2.2.18. (Just one line). This one works flawlessly.
<BR>
<P>I'd say that Epson is far the best choice for Linux.
