[sane-devel] Looking for a small business card sized scanner

[Jim McQuillan]

Hello,

I need a small scanner for scanning business cards and insurance cards.

I picked up a ScanShell 800N, but sadly, it doesn't appear to be 
supported by SANE.

I've got the results of various tests and below.

Does anybody have any pointers for one of the following:

  1) Making this 800N work with an existing driver
 
  2) A different scanner that is good for scanning business cards

  3) Writing a new driver for the 800N



Any help will be greatly appreciated, because I REALLY don't want to put 
windows boxes at this customer.

Thanks,
Jim McQuillan
