So I have seen a few different devices that call themselves reciept scanners. They're basically designed (usually) such that the piece of paper slides through it like it would through a paper shredder (LOL without shredding the papaer haha). But what I am wondering is if anyone has any experience with using one in Ubuntu (or any Linux). They have all said "Requires Windows _____", and no mention of Linux. Not even anything about Mac. I am highly resistant to spending $200 on a device that doesn't play nice with Ubuntu. Note that I don't feel this is a failing of Ubuntu, but rather the hardware companies for not developing their hardware to be cross-platform.

Anyway, any feedback would be very appreciated. Thank you in advance!!
