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