I don't know your specific needs when it comes to scanning, but a few |
| 32 |
years ago (2005) I got an Epson Perfection 2400 on eBay for about $15 |
| 33 |
USD. It is USB and has worked great with Gentoo (media-gfx/iscan)... |
| 34 |
Epson seems to have an active Linux driver development team with |
| 35 |
releases usually every month, and you can check their website for |
| 36 |
recently added scanners to the supported list. I have not used any |
| 37 |
other scanner in Linux, but so far I am perfectly happy with this |
| 38 |
Epson (especially for $15). |
