Hello,<br>
<p>
I have a Microtek ScanMaker V310 parallel port scanner and am trying to<br>
figure out where to start to make this thing work. I realize that it is<br>
not officially supported, but I don't even know what I need to do to try to<br>
make it work. I have made the assumption that I need SCSI generic support<br>
compiled into my kernel, and that's all I really know. I don't know how to<br>
make the SCSI chain operate over the parallel port. I've compiled in<br>
PARPORT and PARIDE and all the IDE protocol modules, as well as the<br>
IDE-SCSI module. I've also compiled in the SCSI_PPA and SCSI_IMM modules.<br>
Is this the way to go about it? I was unable to find any specific<br>
information about what kernel support is needed by SANE.<br>
<p>
I'm running the 1.0 debian package and find-scanner is reporting nothing<br>
(except pnm devices) but I fear that it is not probing the parallel port at<br>
all. lsmod shows no parallel port modules being loaded. Am I completely<br>
going about this the wrong way or what?<br>
<p>
Secondly, does anyone know anything about this scanner? I'm willing to put<br>
in some time to get a driver coded if it's not supported and not too hard.<br>
=)<br>
<p>
Thanks,<br>
Christopher<br>
