[kwlug-disc] Vidar800 SCSI Scanner

Tue Jul 27 14:27:08 EDT 2010

It is a vidar truscan800; it is very big, for blueprint drawings and such. I have checked the list and don't see it. All of the drivers are for win 98/NT, there are some Mac drivers for older Macs. It was working fine until Saturday. It could be the scanner itself. I haven't eliminated it yet, because I can't find anything else that I know it <SHOULD> work on to test it.

What's the model? Have you cross-referenced against the supported Scanners list?

I am trying to get his scanner to work. I did an update to adobe in windows, and now this scanner won't work a all. I tried to use an ubuntu 9.10 live cd to see if xsane would work, but it seems the scanner is not recognized at all. Does anyone have any experience with such matters? The machine is only used for scanning, so this would be an excellent oppotunity to introduce linux to my boss in smal steps.
