But it's a bit slow. So I wonder if a new scanner would be significantly faster? Epson has a V39 (€100) and a V600 (€450).
Any inputs from those who have a scanner?
No replies? A friend has a V600 but is a Windows / PS Elements user. Says it is very good.
Obviously the V600 has 48 bit output and can scan film. SANE support is listed as unsupported / supported by the epkowa backend plus non-free interpreter noted as unmaintained. That is true of the whole range V10 through to V600
Seem to recall reports that 48 bit output can be a problem in linux. (PClinuxOS - not sure about 'buntu)
As an aside, my old 2005 Canon Lide 30, USB powered, plug it in works straight away.
Otherwise, my regular is a Brother printer/scanner - good linux support, works usb or wireless using xsane, but nothing special in the way of output.
