At that price it is probably a piece of trash

I've had a flatbed scanner for years, too - at least five. Bought it online from Office Max for $20 - after rebate. Got free shipping, too. And I *did* get the rebate, without hassle or delay beyond that stated on the form. TJ |

You don't need a really high resolution scanner if all you're using it for is scanning documents. Bill |

You don't need a really high resolution scanner if all you're using it for is scanning documents. Bill I'm not concerned with Measekite's opinion. I've dealt with him before in the printer newsgroup, heard everything he has to say, ad nauseum. Google his name, if you wish to know more. IMHO, however, it wouldn't be worth the bandwidth. My scanner is a Visioneer OneTouch 7600 USB. It's a letter/A4 scanner, with a native resolution of 600 dpi. The software will interpolate to 1200 dpi using Windows 98. It does still work just fine, though I don't use it much any more. Mandriva Linux doesn't support it, or any of the scanners that use the A3 chipset. That is the only reason I don't use it much anymore. I wish it *was* supported. Measekite will no doubt consider it a piece of junk because it doesn't do slides or something. So what? That's not what I bought it for. I also have the scanner on an HP PSC 2110 that I've had now for three years. That IS supported by Linux, through drivers supplied by HP. Its native resolution is also 600 dpi. I see little difference in the output of the two scanners, so I use the HP because I use Linux far more than Windows.

Which says quite a bit about rebates. Michael |

We don't get as many rebates here as US people get, or as good prices. I paid $70.00 US (so you can compare) for my scanner which is a Canon.

My scanner is a Visioneer OneTouch 7600 USB. It's a letter/A4 scanner, with a native resolution of 600 dpi. The software will interpolate Oh thats software magnification Thank you for clarifying that, but I believe that's what I said. to 1200 dpi using Windows 98. Oh thats so outdated it is a joke. Not even supported any more Ah, but it *was* still supported 5 years ago when I bought the scanner. Not particularly well, since Windows 98 was a joke the day it was released, but that's another subject. It does still work just fine, though I don't use it much any more. Mandriva Linux doesn't support it, O course not. Unfortunately, that is one of the problems with all Linux distributions. It does not support many things including Photoshop I beg to differ. Most scanners are supported by Linux. The A3 chipset scanners are an exception. And as for Photoshop, versions up to the latest can be run with a Linux program called WINE. I'm quite sure the latest version will be runnable with WINE soon. or any of the scanners that use the A3 chipset. That is the only reason I don't use it much anymore. I wish it *was* supported. Measekite will no doubt consider it a piece of junk because it doesn't do slides or something. So what? That's not what I bought it for. How about your Brownie Hawkeye If I could still get film for it, my mother's Brownie would work just fine, thank you. Good to know you can appreciate one of the historic cameras that brought photography to the masses. TJ -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
