gnhlug-discuss Digest, Vol 93, Issue 3

Wed Jun 18 11:09:14 EDT 2014

If you have trouble with whatever scanner, as I did getting my Samsung
laser's scanner to work with Mint, this may help: vuescan.

www.hamrick.com

I have to say, it works wonderfully with nothing to configure. It
discovered the scanner (wifi) and started working. Not too $$ given
that I can install it on all boxes...they all work.

Very good hdwr support.

I believe you can try before you buy.
