Hi!
<BR>
<P>[Max Vorobyev]
<BR>
<EM>&gt; I've disassembled HP's driver for ScanJet 5s and convert most
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; branches (according to TWAIN driver description) to C-code. But
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; there is a problem: driver deals with LPT port via DeviceIoControl
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; function with some IOCTL codes. All I have is numeric constants, but
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I need description of these command codes and (more important)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; buffer structures for them. Those codes are not described in MSDN.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Perhaps, they should be in DDK of Windows NT. Can somebody help me
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; to find descriptions?
</EM><BR>
<P>The TWAIN drivers of scanner have to access the parallel port directly
<BR>
so they have to run at ring-0 (&quot;root&quot;). Because normal DLL are executed
<BR>
at ring-3 they come with a ring-0-dll a so called virtual device driver.
<BR>
this VxD (the x is sometimes replaced by the name of the device -
<BR>
virtuall keyboard device = VKD). Functions in the ring-0-dll are called
<BR>
using DeviceIOControl, the IOCTL number is the function number, the
<BR>
inbuffer is the parameter stack the outbuffer is the returnstack.
<BR>
However there's no standard that restricts you in anyway. You'll have to
<BR>
disassemble the VxD driver and see what functions it implements... nasty
<BR>
work, btw ;-)
