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 - see list of supported scanners). They will detect the scanner on startup if the right drivers are loaded.

Drivers

Brother

Canon:

Epson:

Hewlett Packard (HP)
HplipLite dynamic for Puppy 5 and later
Hplip and HplipLite packages for Puppy 4 and earlier

Samsung

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.
