scanner shopping with ubuntu hardy

[Victor Mendonça]

I'll try to find it at home tonight. But It's an older one... probably about 6 years.

Do you happen to have the model number of the canon standalone scanner that serves you well?

Thanks,
Anita.

 I think it might also have to do with the fact that it's an all-in-one printer. I have a Lexmark at home that I was never able to make the scanner part work. Now my simple canon standalone scanner worked at first attempt (since 6.08), and still works. All I ever had to do was plug it in.

Hi Anita,

I used Hardy, now using Intrepid, I have an HP 5610 all in one scanner
printer
I have it working, but making scanners work in Linux is not easy.

It took me some research and trying, but it does work.

I don't know if there is a true out of the box scanner that works.

It took less work in intrepid then in hardy, so I have to assume that
they improved the drivers.
