It's not that it's technically impossible, just that most manufacturers<br>
have been reluctant to give out programming information for their<br>
parallel port scanners. If documentation isn't available, it's pretty<br>
hard to write a reliable backend. I understand some people have tried<br>
snooping on the parallel port using bundled scanning software under<br>
WINE, but I'm not sure how much success they've had reverse-engineering<br>
the communication between scanner and host. If you look back through<br>
the list archive, you'll be able to find some discussion of this<br>
and related issues.<br>
