I have ordered a Canonscan Lide 110, which is said to be fully supported by the sane page, using the genesys driver. In my Sid installation there is an entry for the 110 in /etc/sane.d/genesys.conf. So it _ought_ to work, but I have come across posts in other lists (ubuntu) where people report failure. So I have got cold feet about it and am wondering if I ought to return it unopened. Hence my question: has anyone used this model successfully (or not)? ACI doesn't use scanners very often but I used that scanner once. At fist time, I thought that it will be a problem but for my surprise the only thing that I needed to do was edit the /etc/default/saned to start the daemon and then acquire the image with Gwenview. It worked like a charm with:
I've got a scanner that says lide 110 on the top, and it performs to my expectations under gentoo linux with media-gfx/sane-backends-1.0.22-r2 . Support was not in stable gentoo when I got the scanner, so I had to use a development version of the drivers until about half a year ago (I think ). The buttons don't work, but that goes for several (most) usb scanners I believe (don't take my word for that).
