Parallel scanner in linux..

Post by w.kosse » Mon, 31 Jan 2000 04:00:00



Hi,

Can it be done? I have a mustek parportscanner and want to scan using
linux.
I read about scsi emulation on parport, will that allow me to use the
scanner and if yes, how?
I tried to cat the dev/parport0 and /dev/par0, didn't work either.

I'ld be most gratefull for any help in this matter.

Greetings

Willem
