Hi Monty,
<BR>
<P>this is not easy. You will get no documentation for the S20 from HP. And
<BR>
it seems that it is not compatible to some other scanner. You only could
<BR>
reverse engineer the Windows driver or have a look at the USB protocols
<BR>
generated by some USB spy software. And you have to build a backend from
<BR>
scratch (or use the ppm-backend as example). And your scanner may crash
<BR>
during your tests.
<BR>
But it could be fun. I suppose other backends have been written this way
<BR>
too.
<BR>
<P>Happy new year.
<BR>
<P>--Peter

<EM>&gt; Hello,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Is anyone working on a backend for the HP PhotoSmart S20 USB? If not,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; (or if so) could someone point me in the right direction so I could work
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; on one? (or help out) I'm scanning negatives on my wife's windows
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; machine right now and it's driving me NUTS!
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Thanks for the help...
