Would there be a particular line of scanners which function flawlessly<br>

Not exactly the best solution, but I have a Epson Artisan all-in-one<br>
device with a network connection, so when I want to use the scanner,<br>
I crank up a Windows virtual machine and scan from there over the network,<br>
saving the files on a samba mount that is served by the host.<br>
<br>
The hplip package (which you can get from the fedora repos) has<br>
support for most HP all-in-one devices, but essentially no stand<br>
alone scanners.<br>

It sees this particular stand-alone just fine, but it simply doesn't work fine. The scanner interface will either lock up or simply crash. In order to get it to start scanning again I have to either reboot or kill the scanlite process...<div class="HOEnZb">
<div class="h5"><br></div></div></blockquote><div>Never used scanlite. I always either scanned directly from GIMP or via CLI(if I remember correctly). Based on experience I doubt your issues are hardware related on the computer side(doesn't mean they're not but I'd say unlikely). Most scanners are made pretty cheap. That said, have you tried a different USB cable? ppl tend to overlook that part of the equation...</div>
