Epson V700

I found that the basic Epson V700 scanner works quite well with the OEM software that came with it. I tried using VueScan, and wanted to like it, but I must say the program is a little counterintuitive—maybe the fact that the trial version of VueScan on Windows and (Ubuntu) Linux differ by quite a bit seems to have played a role in this decision. I liked that VueScan works in Linux, and I might gravitate towards it for that reason at a later time. For now, it appears like I am happy with a workflow that involves my Epson V700 OEM software and Windows XP.

On a related note, what about the iScan software and related drivers from the Epson site (see this thread on the askubuntu.com forum? I still have not tried this software on the Ubuntu box. I’ll post my results here soon after I try it.
