Hi,<br>
<p>
<i>&gt;No. There is no technical problem (well - there is one, but none, that</i><br>
<i>&gt;couldn't be solved with a few lines of code), but a documentation problem.</i><br>
<p>
I see the picture!<br>
<p>
<i>&gt;Scanner manufacturers seemingly think, that their parallel port protocols</i><br>
<i>&gt;are so stupid that everyone would laugh at them for decades, if they</i><br>
<i>&gt;would give them out. </i><br>
<p>
That's a big problem... If even they were to developped drivers for other<br>
such things that Win95... <br>
<p>
<i>&gt;And it is pretty enervating work to reverse engineer any protocol. The</i><br>
<p>
I suppose it is! But, if I'm not mistaken, the process or something very<br>
similar has been done for the Zip drive. I beleave that a driver exist for<br>
this one, so I suppose that it can be done also on a scanner, except if the<br>
Zip protocol as been made public...<br>
<p>
<i>&gt;problem is probably, that it takes a real freak to do that, and real</i><br>
<i>&gt;freaks tend to use SCSI anyway. </i><br>
<p>
I should have bought that in the fisrt place, but the price was so low...<br>
:)) And in fact I'm not using my scan a lot, so...<br>
<p>
<i>&gt;That are the main reasons, why parallel scanners are not supported as well</i><br>
<i>&gt;as SCSI ones in SANE.</i><br>
<p>
I understand that there is a lot to do for drivers on Linux :((. Mabe<br>
companie will distribute drivers soon, Intel and Netscape have invest in<br>
Linux RedHat, so maybe one day soon others will get in teh moon of<br>
anti-Microsoft investment!<br>
<p>
Bye<br>
<p>
