Well, I ordered a Canon Lide 110 because the sane site says that it is
completely supported and there is an entry for that scanner in my
/etc/sane.d/genesys.conf. But I have still cold feet about it because I
have come across posts from people who tried to get this scanner to
work with the genesys driver, admittedly a few months ago, but failed.
I'm really not sure what to do about this - can I rely on the sane page
or should I return the scanner unopened?
