-
- Yes, i have written a driver for the scanner. i did it more for
- fun than profit, i got a loaner device from hp's isv and got the basics to
- work with the adaptec(1542b) host adapter and the scanners scsi port.
-
- this was on a 3.2.2 system. i havent completed the driver and the scanner
- went back to hp. i have a scanner coming back again so i can finish the work.
-
- i dont know any one who has good display software and would appreciiate it
- if you find some, pass them on to me. i'll trade driver software for
- user vga display software.
-
- in any case, the scanner should be here in a couple of weeks and i'll
- be putting out a tiff file format. a command lind hpcfg will report/update
- the scanners configuration and a hpscan <file> will put a scanned image
- in the named file. this functionality has been requested along with
- the scanner to fax format. additional functionality suggestions are
- welcome.
-
- you mignt want to continue this by direct email.
