Can anyone recommend a good value compact A4-friendly scanner that's plug-and-play with Linux? #DuckDuckFedi #AskFedi #AskMastodon #Linux #scanner

@MediaActivist Depends on what your requirements are of course (do you need perfect colour accuracy, or "just" legible-ish text? etc), but I've had a 1/1 success rate that "the cheapest USB flatbed scanner I could find on the local classifieds board" worked fine with SANE out of the box.

Always a gamble of course, but hard to beat the value.

(Sorry, can't find the model number right now, but it was a Canon Canoscan something-or-other.)

@natkr Yeah that's a good point, I'd just be scanning documents mostly, and that's great to know - thanks!
