Hello,

I have a very old netbook bought in 2009. Windows 7 has got very very slow and it is impossible to do anything. I have a desktop pc with windows 10 but it hasn't got the drivers of my scanner so I have to connect it to my netbook and that's why I can't get rid of it or I will have to buy a new scanner. I would like to install Lubuntu (the linux website suggests me Lubuntu as my netbook is so old) but I must be sure it will support my scanner. I'm using the live version. How can I try if the scanner works? I connected the scanner to the netbook, but nothing happened.
This is my first time with linux.
Thank you
 


What is the MAKE and MODEL of your scanner?
 
on their website it says there are no drivers for linux 32, but this time when I connected the scanner without doing anything it automatically recognized it!!
