I assume it depends on the particular model whether or not
there is full support under Linux.
In particular I expect less support under Linux for those models
which require a non-free module (like the Perfection 3590 PHOTO).

Olaf,
might there be less functionality under Linux even for those models
which are reported as "complete" in
http://www.sane-project.org/lists/sane-backends-external.html#S-EPKOWA
?

Of course I mean only the scanning functionality and not stuff
like the nice buttons for e-mail, printing and whatever
or printing and/or faxing functionality for all-in-one devices.


Kind Regards
