<P>
I emailed the SANE development list re: getting my Scanport SQ300
<BR>
parallel port scanner to work with SANE. In the end the answer was to
<BR>
get the latest microtek2 backend, which allowed me to get some
<BR>
functionality, but not really a useable scanner (mirrored images,
<BR>
errors in scanning length and selection of image area, etc.). In the end
<BR>
it is (with gritting of teeth) far better to use Windows for scanning.
<BR>
<P>Since then I have been getting email from other users, who, at best,
<BR>
get as far as I do. However in my last correspondence (ca. Febuary) with
<BR>
Bernd Schroeder he said that he would not have time to do much work on
<BR>
this, and indeed his ftp site ( <A HREF="ftp://ftp.muc.de/people/bernds/mtek2/">ftp://ftp.muc.de/people/bernds/mtek2/</A> )
<BR>
has shown no change since the 2nd of January.
<BR>
<P>I guess this means that, unless Bernd's other workload is now reduced,
<BR>
or someone else can fill his shoes (unfortunately I can only wish I was
<BR>
up to it!), the development of the microtek2 backend is effectively on
<BR>
hold for the forseeable future. Thus users of scanners that require this
<BR>
backend should not expect any improvement for a while.
