I have actually had the totally opposite result. I plug in any Cannon
Lide scanner and it just works. Any HP stand alone scanner, and it just
works. On Windows 7, I needed to buy software for the HP scanners, and
could not get some of the Cannon scanners to work. Only found one
scanner that would not work with Linux, a Microtik, and it was total
junk. It was replaced on Windows with an HP and a paid driver...
And if you buy hardware with no research, whatever the OS, you have a
good chance of getting disappointing junk.
(By the way... How does a scanner get "outdated?" I mean, aren't the
features mostly set now?)
