- We have to connect a SCSI printer to a 560 under 3.2.3 (Yes I said
- SCSI. Doesn't everyone have a SCSI printer?). Does anyone know how
- this can be accomplished short of writing a custom driver?
-
- Is there an interface via ioctl() calls or /dev/scsi? that will allow
- me to send arbitrary scsi commands to an arbitrary device? Any
- thoughts on maybe configuring it as a supported device type
- (disk/tape/cdrom) and getting at it via the existing ioctl() interface
- for these devices?
