Hi,

I have an ancient Visioneer 4800 USB Flatbead Colour scanner. Visioneer only support Windows XP SP1 so I'm trying to get it to work in Ubuntu Linux instead.

I have tried XSane but the scanner is not even listed let alone supported. Is there a way to get it to work (The scanner works perfectly the odd time I need to use it and I don't want to waste money on another one which I will hardly ever use.)

Happy Holidays!
 
Hi,

Thanks for your generosity. I'm not sure how much postage would cost fore something so large but I've found that scanners have become amazingly cheap these days. I can pick up a Canon Canoscan Lide 25 Desktop Colour Flatbed Scanner USB 1200 dpi x 2400 dpi for £30.

Does this mean that there is no hope for my scanner at home. The only other thing I can think of is to create a XP SP1 virtual machine using VMWare and use that.

Thanks in advance!
