I have had success with most flat bed USB scanners from thrift stores. Usually a $5 gamble.

I'm sorry to hear that. I have a Canon printer/scanner that works fine, but only scans with Canon's software. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

I use a Brother MFC-9840CDW multifunction at the office. Works fine with Brother's driver and XSane over the network on Fedora 22 (haven't gone to F23 yet). Last time I used my Canon lIDE, it worked fine as well under XSane, but that was a while ago. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - NEWS FLASH!

supported by sane
Every time I've ever done a search, I've found scanners divided into two totally separate categories:
1. Scanners supported by sane. 2. Scanners currently being sold.
:-).
I currently run a multi-function epson with a wifi interface, and when I need to scan something I start my windows virtual machine and scan from there.

Brother DCP-7055W here (low-cost multifunction scanner/printer with Wifi). Using the driver available on the Brother site, it works perfectly under Fedora.

As does the Brother 7065DN that we have here.
Also, my Canon Lide 210 works nicely too without hassle.

Well, every multi-function HP machine we bought (a sample of two) works well scanning with sane. We currently have an HP Envy 4504, bought for a low price, scans well, though not fast.
Now negatives, not so sure; does that require software to process the scan? I do not have experience with that.

Most Fujitsu scanners are directly supported in SANE. I have it on good authority that Fujitsu actively supports the SANE project, and often supplies new hardware in advance, so that support can be developed in advance of general availability.
Fujitsu scanners are a bit pricier that the competition, though. The cheapest full-sized scanner I see on Amazon is the iX500 at four hundred bucks, and, yup, it's listed on http://www.sane-project.org/sane- backends.html with "Good" support.

It shouldn't for just reversal of intensity, however you *may* need a driver to turn on any backlights for scanning transparencies.

Yikes.
I went looking to see if A3 scanner were affordable. You need to be sitting down for their pricetag.
