HP are normally pretty good with Linux
Replacing your equipment would be cheap advice but it depends on how
badly/quickly you need it to work. I have new HP Deskjet wireless all-in-on
type thing which I happily scan and print from in opensuse
A quick google brings up the fact that Canon particularly don't seem to
like linux, and don't offer any help for it.

Hello Mik,
Sorry to hear you are unwell mate , i hope your hand gets better soon.
I think you might have been unlucky with that scanner , pretty much
all the other LiDE models are reported as working in OpenSuSE
https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Scanners
I have an Canon LiDE 200 here and i just plugged it in and ran
simple-scan and it just worked on my ubuntu 15.10.
Personally i have found SuSE distros to be a world of pain and strange
quirks , i would seriously recommend switching to ubuntu because
it just flipping works with pretty much everything, this is mostly
because of the large use volume and active support forums.
You could try using a liveCD to make sure its ok without risking your setup.
I think scanner support has started to take a back seat in the linux
world because mobile phone cameras are mostly good enough to scan
documents so you might find that an easier way, just watch the lighting.
Cheers
Amias

For what its worth, I've a Canoscan LIDE 25 scanner, and it works
straightforwardly with SimpleScan, but only when plugged into the
combined ESATA/USB port. SimpleScan cannot see it if it is plugged in to
any other standard USB ports. I've Linux Mint 17.

Subject: [bristol] Broadband router question
Message-ID: <5645A772.7010008@gmail.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
Hi all - I'm on BT for broadband, with a BT HomeHub router. Is it
possible to replace
the Homehub with an alternative device which measures and reports broadband
usage across all devices, and is such a device available e..g. from Dabs
or Maplin ?
I'd like to be able to see the total DL usage in the last hour, for example.
I have a variety of devices attached to the router, e.g. Windows, Linux,
Android.
I don't necessarily want the usage per device, just the total for all
devices.
Thanks,
Andrew M

Andrew,
The short answer is 'yes'. Depending on your connection...
If it's ADSL then *ANY* router that has an ADSL modem in it (and most of
them are 2+ capable too) will 'just work' if you configure the settings (BT
have a guide on this). If it's VDSL (FttC) then you need to ensure you get a
router with a VDSL modem in it. Most VDSL connections are sold as "BT
Infinity" or "BT Fibre".
Check which type of connection you have, then grab a router that has the
right modem internally. Alternatively if you happen to be on VDSL and can
find someone who used to be and still has their OpenReach external modem,
then you could plug that into any Ethernet-equipped router and it would work
just as well through the WAN port (in fact I did this with my FttC
connection and my old Draytek Ethernet router for a few years).
John
