Don't bother with the driver, it isn't compatible.<br>

They usually give out info for the SCSI command set, but they refuse to<br>
|
|
give out anything on the parallel port protocol. Others have tried and<br>
|
|
none have succeeded. The only way is by playing with their windows<br>
|
|
driver... you can imagine how fun that is.<br>

I am already working on a driver. I've been delayed for a while because<br>
|
|
of other projects I got involved in (ugh), but those have quieted down<br>
|
|
now. I actually started the driver in the fall of last year... but I got<br>
|
|
interrupted... I can turn the lamp on and off for hours of enjoyment, and<br>
|
|
throw the scanner into a fit of random movements, but as for functional<br>
|
|
uses... Anyway, I plan to work on the driver over my spring break (which<br>
|
|
begins today). I should have something that scans at least a raw image,<br>
|
|
in at least one dpi mode (I think the data set I'm working with was at 100<br>
|
|
dpi... it was so long ago... either that or 600) by the end of next week.<br>
|
|
Wish me luck. Originally it will be standalone, and then it will be<br>
|
|
integrated with SANE.<br>

SANE has both a command line non-GUI interface and an X interface. It<br>
|
|
does not require X.<br>

No info to offer, but how does the nearing availability of a driver sound?<br>
