Hi Phillipp,<br>
<p>
I have just added a msall list of FAQs about HP scanners to my homepage.<br>
Maybe you can find an answer to your question.<br>
I suppose the HP ScanJet IIcx is a SCSI scanner. So the little<br>
controller card<br>
is a SCSI card. But you need a SCSI driver for it. And this one comes<br>
(hopefully)<br>
with Linux. SANE does not include SCSI drivers.<br>
<p>
Sincerely<br>
<p>
Peter<br>

<i>&gt; Things seem to track the March 98 LJ article pretty well except:</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; 1. No scsi is seen (small detail :-))</i><br>
<i>&gt;         a. The hp.conf file only has /dev/scanner in it.</i><br>
<i>&gt;         b. /dev/scanner  is a link to /dev/sge. ( I hve no scsi card, only the</i><br>
<i>&gt;         little controller card that came with the scanner).</i><br>
<i>&gt;         c. sge default was linked to sg4 - should I (unlink) that and link</i><br>
<i>&gt;         sge to sg0?, since that is the only and therefore the last scsi.</i><br>
<i>&gt;         A little foggy how that command line might look.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; 2. I see the menu's and the preview box, but don't see a "pnm" picture yet.</i><br>
<i>&gt; Seems like it complained about not seeing a scanner. ( I think ) . I thought</i><br>
<i>&gt; not finding the scanner might have nothing to do with delivering a pnm file.</i><br>
<i>&gt; We are newbie green here.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; That scanner is "long term borrowed", and old, and I might replace it if</i><br>
<i>&gt; necessary, but its in the "supported list".</i><br>
<i>&gt;         Hope this makes sense to someone. <a href="mailto:phillipp@w3eax.umd.edu">phillipp@w3eax.umd.edu</a></i><br>
