and yes i’ve tried the xsane, sane-find-scanner, scanimage -L in terminal

sane-find-scanner detects my scanner (visioneer 9020usb)

but it still won’t scan

after visiting sane’s website, it’s listed as unsupported

go figure

Sounds like the “BoB” Dobbs* Triple Your Money Back Guarantee.

Give $30.00 to “BoB” and if upon your death you find yourself in hell, “BoB” will personally present you with triple your money back. He’ll also offer you his best selling underworld edition of “Getting Along In Hell On A Nickel A Day” for the amazing low price of $89.95.

Personally I love my Linux system and wouldn’t give it up, even for a collectible item like a refund check for $0.00. (I’d totally frame that one.)

*See http://www.subgenius.com if you don’t know who “BoB” is.

Dang, been running ubuntu for better than a year now and it ain’t broke yet. Guess I’ll have to wait to claim my money back.

Not to be too pessimistic, but you’d totally loose money writing people those checks for piss all. Then again, if it’s anything like a Microsoft promise, you could always just “feature drop” the writing people a cheques and go with scanning them ones or sending them over the web.

Ahahaha I love it
Guess what, you Don’t have to pay for something good!!
But if you like Linux a lot and want to see new versions/updates, I would donate a little something, doesn’t have to be much either!
