Recommendation for a scanner?

[nitin chandra]

Hi,

The way I shortlist a printer for my SOHO setup is very simple.

Choose the one which covers your requirements. Pick 2-3 models, keeping in
mind Paper size, ADF, print capacity , colour / mono-laser, price within
budget, etc

Then go to the device manufacturers website, and search for drivers :
Samsung, EPSON, Brother, HP most of them have device drivers.

Read carefully, it may give a general statement about drivers working with
models / devices.

I currently use EPSON MFD L565 (Ink Tank) with Linux Mint 19.x (Scan,
print, ADF)

Thank you

Nitin
