<i>&gt; &gt; I've got a Logitech PageScan Color, through a parallel interface. Is there </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; any support for this through SANE? Is there any support other than SANE for </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Linux? I've seen drivers for the ScanMan through a specialized interface </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; card, but this doesn't seem to work for the PageScan.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; No - it can't due to the very design (I wrote it). Logitech seems to adhere to </i><br>
<i>&gt; its policy not to release source or documentation.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; You might want to step on their nerves until they either do one of the above</i><br>
<i>&gt; or agree to write SANE drivers themselves. As SANE can easily incorporate </i><br>
<i>&gt; binary drivers, they might agree, though I do not think they actually would</i><br>
<i>&gt; spend any money in supporting an OS which has "only" a few percent of the </i><br>
<i>&gt; market.</i><br>
<p>
Well, I'll be glad to step on whatever nerves might be lying around. Any clue <br>
on where to start poking and prodding for info?<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; The other way out would be to find someone who writes a driver. The parallel</i><br>
<i>&gt; port is something which is easy to monitor and hopefully the protocol spoken</i><br>
<i>&gt; is not too complex, so reverse-engeneering from the data on the bus shouldn't</i><br>
<i>&gt; be too hard.</i><br>
<p>
Heh. Not to hard for someone who knows what they're doing. _I_, on the other <br>
hand, am completely clueless when it comes to driver-writing. So, while I'm <br>
willing to do as much as I'm able, I'd need some help in that department.<br>
