I'm a newbie. Any advice for getting a UMAX Astra 3400 scanner to work with Ubuntu Hoary? usbview shows the scanner, but I think that while it is recognized at the hardware level, there just isn't a software driver out there for it. I've also tried with other distros, even Knoppix which is supposed to be good with this sort of thing. Should I just scrap this scanner and get another? If so, what sort of scanner works well with Ubuntu? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
