Vuescan recently saved me when I was trying to get my first scanner to work, simply by actually managing to scan. That way, I knew that at least the scanner wasn’t broken, and I simply needed to figure out what was wrong (turns out the Canon driver hates it when your Windows region does not match your language and number formats…). After getting the original software to run, I didn’t need Vuescan again, but I thought it was a cool tool.
- estaseuropano 5y agoIs vuescan not a safer choice? Epson, canon and hp software tend to do automatic updates and may choose to brick your device if you use the wrong ink. They also tend to collect data unless you carefully fight every setting. Why even expose yourself to that? I only biy oki and brother printers for this reason - fine tech without the evil.
- Semaphor 5y agoIt’s a document scanner. Not much ink in there ;) And haven’t seen any data connection when scanning.
- estaseuropano 5y agoOk true for a pure scanner these might indeed be fine. Too few ways for the manufactured to additionally fleece you :-)
