Dear List,

I got myself the Canon USB LiDE 30 Scanner. It has 100% support by sane, 
works in FreeBSD and Suse 9.1 (had to be configured manually by yast).

Wonderfull colors, great resolution, lightweight, sharp, BSD style & 
design, special ergonomic functionality for little space consumption (can 
stay on vertical position), special ergonomic functionality for scanning 
big books, vertical scanning, etc.

It's kickass, and it works *smoothly*.

So now if anyone needs a scanner for FreeBSD, this is the one. It costs 
about 66 EU in Romania. His cheaper brother is LiDE 20, which has 99% 
chances to work like a charm in the very same way, but it's a little less 
capable, and i did not test it. Mine is 30.


Regards,
