Unfortunately, I'm not surprised.  Since USB is the scanners "standard"
interface, I noted more and more "bad" scanners: bad/weak GUI
(for example the GUI coming with some EPSON Perfection scanners is the
worst I ever used), bad performance, cheap/buggy hardware.

The Canon LIDE 30 is not the best scanner available around, but it's
just a "decent" scanner for 69 Euros... and is supported by SANE.

I also own an old Agfa SnapScan 600 SCSI, and it's another world.

BTW, as always, your pages are really interesting.
