Re: [LUG] printer/scanner recommendations

 

If you're willing to tolerate paid-for and closed source (but with free trial), you might have a look at VueScan which I used for my elderly slide-scanner until one day a Sane driver appeared.

The scanner on the 2250 works fine using simplescan or xsane but they are limited. I haven't found any good scanner software under linux yet.


Ah, I assume you're talking about the DCP-L2520DW, which does have a scanner function, Brother seem to be pretty operable with Linux as a whole it seems, and not as pricey as some of the HP stuff.

Though if I get a new printer I would probably go for a Colour Laser next time, I print relatively little, but what I do print I appreciate it if it looks good quality. I don't scan all that much, just the occasional signature on a document when required etc...

Sorry, coffee not had chance to work yet. I do mean the 2520.

MS-Word may say 'damaged file' to discourage this but should open the attachment(s)
