Hello,
<BR>
<P>I have a scantak-12p, running on windows. And YES I know that both the
<BR>
scantak thingy and windows are not supported (-:X:-)
<BR>
<P>However the windows is my father's and so is the scanner, I am just the
<BR>
parasite. Wat I would like to set up (ideal case) is: windows serving
<BR>
the scanner so that I can command it on Linux through the network.
<BR>
<P>So I wonder: how hard is it to make a windows &quot;daemon&quot;, a network
<BR>
server, for SANE? (And by that way, could SANE easily be ported to
<BR>
windows when using the GTK+ ports that are available for windows, or is
<BR>
there something more platform-independent next to the GUI?)
<BR>
<P>Could such a SANE daemon exploit the already available and general TWAIN
<BR>
interface? (I guess not, but it would be so cool because it would enable
<BR>
you to serve almost any scanner from windows.)
<BR>
<P>This is what I know about the scanner:
<BR>
<P>ScanTak is from spot technologies, www.spotinc.com, &quot;unable to locate
<BR>
the server&quot; (didn't they pay their NIC fees for the coming year?).
<BR>
The available software is scanoffix, a &quot;version of&quot; ImageDock scanner
<BR>
software from onset technology,
<BR>
<A HREF="http://www.onsettechnology.com/scanoffix/">http://www.onsettechnology.com/scanoffix/</A> .
<BR>
But the copyright of the product lies with &quot;Shonut Probabilistic
<BR>
Solutions Ltd&quot;. Furthermore the software uses:
<BR>
OCR Technology (Caere Corporation)
<BR>
AnyColor Technology (our beloved Shonut)
<BR>
Portions of the imaging technology (Accusoft corp)
<BR>
<P>And yes, it is parallell.....
<BR>
<P>What do you think, should I give up? Is there a good possibility that
<BR>
this scanner is compatible with one of the Great? Or is there a good way
<BR>
to get to the bottom with this scanner?
<BR>
<P>Altavista has poor resources for it...
<BR>
<P>Thanks,
<BR>
<P>Stefan
