Scanner hardware : recommendations

[GeertPoels]

I'm looking for scanner hardware supported by Ubuntu 7.10.
Which types/brands are recommended ?

HP, certainly, and the multifunction printer, copier, scanner HP Deskjet F 2180 works faultlessly in 7.10, so I presume also in 8.04, (not yet tried it on my install of 8.04).

Others also, I imagine from Epson, as they are usually well supported.
Have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport for other information.

I would have hoped to see that machine mentioned here :

Yes, interesting to see it not mentioned, but if I remember correctly, it is certainly shown as supported on the HP website and the page for hplip.

I would recommend going with an HP scanner. I have a Microtek and it stinks.
