[Lancaster] Canoscan Lide Scanners under Linux

[Darren Poulson]

Hi Ken,

I was very dissapointed with my Lide scanner (Lide 60). I plugged it in and it 
just worked! No findlin', no messin'. I was looking forward to a good tinker 
and I didn't have to do anything at all (except install sane and kooka). This 
is under kubuntu.

Just tried gimp and it worked fine - at least as far as getting a preview.

HTH,

Darren.
