You write:<br>
<i>&gt; I knew that. I also red the problem is that there's not any standard.</i><br>
<i>&gt; I would like to contribute making tests on my scanner, and trying to</i><br>
<i>&gt; detect the protocol, but I would need you to tell me how to make those</i><br>
<i>&gt; tests and what to test.</i><br>
<p>
The first step is to contact the manufacturer to see if you can get<br>
detailed specs on the protocol. Usually this is not very successful.<br>
<p>
I haven't done this myself, but the general consensus is that you need<br>
to run WINE or DOSEMU (if the scanner has a DOS driver) and try to record<br>
the parallel protocol from the TWAIN driver and decode it. Then<br>
re-implement it under Linux. It may also be possible with VMWARE if you<br>
modify the Linux lp driver to record all of the traffic.<br>
<p>
Cheers, Andreas<br>
