I am pure linux user, don't use windows nor wine (most of the time) Also I don't have Windows installed

Now I want to buy a new scanner, Of course this scanner must be able to work under linux If I asked the seller "Can it work with Linux" he will replay "linux? I don't know but it work with photoshop and mspaint" or if he is smarter he will simply say "I do not know"

So I need your help, which scanner should I buy ? is there any brands that RESPECT linux and provide drivers for it ? Any advices would you like to tell me about before I go on and buy one? Thanks

My scanner is mentioned explicitly as a working model, but it doesn't work at all.

Worse, my bug report has been unaddressed for months now.

Instead, google for people's experiences with the various models.

You can check the hardware compatibility list for your distro.
