[lug] Scanners

[Hugh Brown]

Some links that I have found

http://www.buzzard.org.uk/jonathan/scanners-usb.html
http://www.mostang.com/sane/

Checking here should get you an idea about USB and scanners in general.

I also neglected to add that the scanner I have is using the SCSI
interface.  I haven't tried the usb interface.

FWIW,

Hugh
