it also now works with a mac, although you have to scan both the front and back and then save both files first. with pc, you can directly scan into java.

i've been using deposit@home since january and all is well. it was nice that there is finally a mac support (although i was running xp through parallels on my mac to deposit without an issue). the only issue i had was with java, but those have been resolved.

They acknowledge that it's a known bug with Firefox. Sounds like they may support it in the future.

I'm a Firefox devotee myself, but I'm also aware that Firefox only has about 10% of the U.S. Market.

I would have thought a "tech-geek" wouldn't have problems opening up another browser window to get something done… Or better yet, Firefox is open-source, so you could go fix the bug for us!

Here's something that's key: you have to use Internet Explorer (if you're on a Windows machine). It definitely does not work with Firefox.

After seeing some reviews of deposit@home elsewhere, I wonder if the success has to do with the configuration and age of the scanner?

FWIW, we have a Canon Canoscan Lide 500F.

To add my two cents, I've never had any problems getting the orientation right, nor do I have to worry about the scanning resolution. The web interface controls the printer all on its own, so it's not like you scan the photo in some other program then input it.

A couple of times I've had to rescan it the check.
