<i>&gt; At first glance, this sounds like it would fall under the same type of</i><br>
<i>&gt; system as having saned on the Win box, and using saned on your Linux box</i><br>
<i>&gt; handle the network protocol. However, it would need the saned on the Win</i><br>
<i>&gt; box to talk to the Windows scanner driver via TWAIN, and TWAIN allows the</i><br>
<i>&gt; scanner driver to have the GUI built into the driver. This would mean you</i><br>
<i>&gt; need to be sitting at the Win box to handle the TWAIN GUI, and at that</i><br>
<i>&gt; point you might as well scan the image under Windows and FTP it over to</i><br>
<i>&gt; your Linux box. If saned on the Win box talked directly to the PPort, you</i><br>
<i>&gt; would be back in the same situation as we are with SANE all over - you</i><br>
<i>&gt; need to get the protocol from the manufacturer.</i><br>
<p>
I think that what he wants is to be able to connect his scanner to his<br>
Linux box, run saned on that, and have a parallel port driver running on a<br>
windows box that feeds parallel commands sent by whatever TWAIN driver<br>
came with the scanner, over to the saned which works in a pass-through<br>
mode, sending everything straight to the scanner.<br>
