Hi,
thanks for this.
Do you know if there's a list of driverless scanners anywhere?
epson deserve a good flaming for their pathetic lack of support for linux. A complicated hack got my 2480 photo scanner working, but an epson engineer could have provided the same result for all users with five minutes work, so it's clearly a 'business model', not a technical barrier.
I now have a V700 photo scanner, which I've yet to try out on my linux system. Bookworm has sane-airscan installed by default, so can I assume the V700 will 'just work' if it's driverless? (The 2480 photo didn't.)
Both scanners are quite old but the V700 is a pro model so it may have been a bit more cutting edge in its day. I'll update here with any findings.
