====How to Use a Scanner With Puppy Linux====

~[[XSane]] or [[PeasyScan]] can be used to scan an image. These are front-ends for Sane (which provides the drivers - [[http://www.sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html see list of supported scanners]]). They will detect the scanner on startup if the right drivers are loaded.

==Faster scanner start-up==
~Edit the file ///etc/sane.d/dll.conf// so that only the relevant models are listed, i.e. comment out the irrelevant ones.
