I have a Canon Lide-30 scanner and have misplaced the CDs that came
with it. I don't like the scan/copy software that came with it much,
anyway.
Is there a generic/open source application that can talk to most USB
scanners ?
I know I can fire up any TWAIN-compliant software and scan, but I don't
have it on all machines and it's overkill.
Is a TWAIN driver specific to the scanner? Do I have to find a
Canon CD, anyway?
(on a similar note, software called "CD Burner XP" has replaced all
the bundled burner software I every had. It's a better app, IMO, and
the price is right.)
