Hi Cheryl, I do scanning on Linux all the time. My scanner is a CanoScan lide 100. I use a tool named scanimage. It is part of the sane package, or maybe the sane-backends package. I think the package name may vary by distro. In order to scan on Linux, you'll need to add your user to the scanner group first. I don't know what the differences are between the lide 100 and the lide 110, but sane's compatibility page claims that the lide 110 is fully supported. If you need any further help debugging, feel free to contact me off-list, and I'll be happy to help. -- Chris
