Flatbed Scanner

["Laura Conrad" <user=40@nabble.blu.org>]

My flatbed scanner died a couple of weeks ago.  (A Cannon LIDE 
something or other.  It was cheap, but shouldn't have died after that 
few years of light use.) 

So I used the tax holiday to get a new one at Microcenter yesterday. 
It's an Epson Perfection V200 Photo scanner.  It's working now, after 
downloading drivers and fiddling with permission files and lots of 
googling.  But it only gives me the choice of three resolutions: 300, 
2400 and 4800.   

I find 300 is too coarse for scanning music, so on the old scanner I 
was using 600.  2400 is probably overkill, and is taking an awfully 
long time per page. 

Does anyone have an idea of what to do with this scanner, or a 
recommendation for a different scanner that works better with LINUX? 

I suppose another possibility is buying more memory.  I have 1G, and 
could upgrade this machine to 2G.
