This is not always the case, I had a Dell printer using an RPM that |
| 9 |
would not install properly. It was placing files in places where Gentoo |
| 10 |
did not expect to see them. I unpacked it and installed it manually and |
| 11 |
got it working. |

The easiest way to install it is to see if there's an ebuild available |
| 14 |
in an overlay. |

Scanners can be picky in linux. I bought a Canon flatbad knowing it had |
| 17 |
support in linux. A newer model of the same line of scanner that I have |
| 18 |
is *not* supported properly in linux. To give you an idea. |
