CanoScan 3200F anyone got it to work in Linux?

[Moshe Brace using Yahoo]

Many thanks Oleg for your reply and taking the time to look it up. This Canoscan version was sold extensively in Israel because scans in WXP are quite fast indeed. I tried to get it installed with Wine, but failed. I suppose the only way is to use another emulator and install WinXP and then the scanner :(( 

I am sure that I am. However, I didn't stop at that. In their US Contact us page I wrote to them telling them that people were turning to other manufacturers for their needs and that they were loosing out and if they were not prepared to create drivers at least they should support Linux enthusiasts. 

Stay Happy,

Moshe
