[lug] High Res Scanner for Suse?

[Ferdinand Schmid]

Steve,

Sane (Scanner Access Now Easy) is what you need.  It comes with SuSE.  You 
will need to find a scanner (USB, Firewire, SCSI, ...) that is supported by 
Sane.  SuSE offers drivers for a great number of units.  Personally I use an 
Epson 2450 Photo and it has been well supported for the past few years.  USB 
2.0 is nice for its speed - I wouldn't go slower than that.  

My recommendation is to go into Yast2 -> Hardware -> Scanners and pretend to 
manually add a scanner.  You can then read through the list of supported 
scanners.  Some models have more than one driver.  This should let you verify 
that a unit you like is supported.

Good Luck,
Ferdinand
