Hi Chris,<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
I such also to write a Programm for a scanner parallel port. But work I with<br>
|
||
proprietary kernel.<br>
|
||
I yet had found the Artec's commands at www2.prestel.co.uk/hex/scanners.html<br>
|
||
, but don't I know them to use. Can you tell me the procedure and send me a<br>
|
||
code example ?<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Thanks for your help<br>
|
||
François<br>
