I've used a friends Epson Perfection 2450 scanner with sane with good results. Unfortunately the scanner has broken down and I'm looking for a new scanner. I'm often scanning invoices, this is my main use at the moment. I do scan pictures as well and I have a plan to scan all my negatives to have them digitally to preserve quality. I'm open to any suggestions of brand and function. I focus on Epson because I'm currently of the opinion that it's good value for the money The 2450 is not in the market any longer so a new model must be chosen. The 4990 would be nice but I can't find it at my dealer. The 4490 can be found but it's not supported by SANE! I can see that the Epson Perfection V700 Photo and Epson Perfection V750 Photo has good support in SANE. But it's not described what's not working? How about the Epson Perfection V500 Photo and Epson Perfection V600 Photo? I've asked this on the sane mailing list but I got no answers. I hope that someone here will suggest a good solution that works well on FreeBSD. Any feedback welcome. Thank you :-) /Leslie
