I spent most of the morning bashing my head trying to find out how you save the scanned images from my scanner.

Until I finds this post on the internets:

Subject: Reasons why I hate ScanGear CS

ScanGear CS is Canon's scanning software for the CanoScan LiDE 25, for
MacOSX. It might be available for other operating systems, and it might
apply to other scanners.

It's a cheap scanner, I'll admit that. But I assumed that would just mean
that it was slooowww (it is), and that it would break quickly (it has: it
scans upside down, and about one month after I got it it stopped scanning
all the way to the edge of the page). But that doesn't excuse these
problems:

* It is impossible to save the images it has scanned until you exit the
program. You scan several pages, quit the program, and then you get
an opportunity to save."

Thanks you Ann and your rage for solving my problem. I can get back to making art now.

That is completely counterintuitive. And rather scary in a way - if I'm working on something, I definitely want to know it's saved before I exit the damn program!

Aren't you running a Linux box? There's a good chance there's a Linux driver that will work.

Nope, running Vista w/ Linux software. I had hit and miss experiences with the Linux software that "works" with this scanner on one of my other machines.

The scanner under linux has usually worked okay for me, and now it'd be easy to transfer since the new machine has functional USB.

Wow. I thought HP was bad about this stuff. I won't complain about them again. ;)
