I tried to make a campground reservation in West Virginia in 1995 and got the response, "OK, but it's not needful." It was new to me at the time but so apt that I adopted it thenceforth. The clerk was an all-American young woman, not someone who had brought a foreign phrase in from abroad.

If I put a camera outside my house it is going to stay there forever. If someone wants to take it down they are going to have to bring a ladder and a cop with a court order and a gun. And he's going to have to use the gun. So get out of my life.

That's a pity. I looked on the VueScan site and discovered that it does support the P-150. I wonder if the 152i is an upgrade from the 150. If so the driver might run it, perhaps minus some advanced feature(s).

I looked at the supported list for sane and found that it also appears to support the 150. Maybe you could test with that. If you have the ability you could tweak the sane driver to recognize the 152i. I did that sort of thing for a USB relay. It's just a matter of adding to a table.

The developer seems dedicated to supporting every scanner he can. Maybe you could open a conversation about whether the 150 driver would run the 152i, and whether he would make a driver for the 152i. Here's a link to the 150 driver page.

Of course this could turn into a massive PITA. With scanners so cheap maybe you could spring for a supported scanner.

Best wishes for success in your quest. I hope you find a solution.

Have a look at VueScan. It's not free but it works on my Linux systems. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hamrick.com%2F

Thank you for posting this. If I had mod points today I would up-mod it.

OK, I'll cop to feeding a troll. My bad.

Aw, c'mon, typo purist! He clearly meant "life". No need to rub his nose in the typo. :(

They should ban the gathering, or at least the long term retention, of all that data.

Yes, it makes a difference. My first exposure to computers was a tour of a Univac-I in 1955. Then in 1958 at college I saw an IBM-650 churning away without doing any input or output. I asked the guy near by what was up and he said it was emulating the Burroughs 220 we were getting the next year. I asked what he was running on the emulator and he said the 220 emulator was running a 650 emulator he was writing so people could continue to use their existing programs. I wound up doing a college project on the 220 in assembly language, and in 1959 I worked on an IBM-704 using FORTRAN. Those were fun times.

About 1970. CP/M. This one had add-on 8" floppies (almost wrote "flippies", and I did do some of that) and an add-on hard drive. That drive weighed a ton! I used it heavily until I got a 286 about 1982.

It's not dying for bills in my house. The billers have really screwed up electronic billing around here. They don't email you the actual bill, just a notice that your bill is available on their web site. For 'n' billers I am expected to maintain 'n' user-IDs, and passwords and go fetch 'n' bills. Pox on that. USPS has business with me until the e-bills are pushed to me.

It's a dstinction without a difference. They're lurking in the shadows between me and people (and web sites) I communicate with. It's creepy and I don't like it and I hope to find convenient ways to make it harder.

WGET is available for Windows and it runs fine.

I guess this was intended to be funny, and it hs been modded as such, but I find it beneath contempt to make jokes about pain management, which is in such miserable shape in America.

Yeh, yeh, I know ... bye bye, karma
