<p>
Not so good with SANE I think...<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; The man page says:</i><br>
<i>&gt;        A parallel port scanner can be configured by  listing  the</i><br>
<i>&gt;        port number of the adapter in the mustek.conf file.  Valid</i><br>
<i>&gt;        port numbers are 0x26b, 0x2ab, 0x2eb, 0x22b, 0x32b, 0x36b,</i><br>
<i>&gt;        0x3ab,  0x3eb.   Pick  one  that doesn't conflict with the</i><br>
<i>&gt;        other hardware in your computer.</i><br>
<p>
The addresses above are only and only valid for the Mutek 600 II N.<br>
Other parallel (printer-)port scanners need the address of the parallel<br>
port (0x3bc, 0x378 or 0x278).<br>
<p>
But AFAIK, printer-port models from Mustek are currently not supported.<br>
<p>
In Linux 2.2.x, there should be a way of accessing the printer port<br>
through a device because the low-level-hardware and the<br>
interface-protocol parts are separate, but I don't know the state<br>
of the development... ?<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; Okay, how? Do I just put a port number anywhere in the file, or is there</i><br>
<i>&gt; a required syntax, or does the order it's placed in the file have any</i><br>
<i>&gt; importance?</i><br>
<p>
I would recommend to put it at the beginning of the file on a line by<br>
itself.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; By the way, just how do I figgure out the correct port number to use? </i><br>
<p>
If you had a supported printer-port scanner, it is one of the<br>
addresses above. Normally a single printer port on the motherboard<br>
of a newer computer will have 0x378 as default.<br>
<p>

<p>
