There some scanning info in Gary's Encyclopedia at

There's an "Artec" entry where someone investigated
that parallel protocol.

Subject: Epson Stylus Colour 740 problems
Date: Fri, 8 Jan 1999 16:45:49 -0800
I've just purchased an Epson Stylus Colour 740 printer and I want to run it
from my RedHat 5.1 Linux box so that it can be shared across a small home
network I have here (consisting of 3 Windows machines and 2 Macs), the
sharing part is not the problem though, my problem comes when I try to
print. I set up the Epson with an entry in /etc/printcap
lp|Epson740:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/epson:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/lp1:
As I understand it from the HOW-TO's and man pages this is a basic printer
set up that uses no filtering, which is essentially what I want. When I
attempt to send plain ASCII to the printer from Linux it prints one or two
lines of it in odd font sizes, missing spaces and de-capitalising words that
it shouldn't, turning apostrophes in to the letter "g", etc. When I try to
print from the Windows machine using the Epson driver I get a few lines of
garbage characters, which I assume is the actual commands to the printer,
and then a form feed and then more garbage, ad nauseum. To verify that the
printer, cable, parallel port on Linux machine, etc is good I boot from a
regular DOS floppy disk on the Linux machine, issue the command "COPY
CONFIG.SYS > PRN:" and everything prints out fine, so I know the parallel
port is good, the cable is good, and the printer isn't in some weird
software state (it doesn't have any visible DIP switches that I can fiddle
with). So everything is good from DOS, I then attached the printer to one of
the Windows machines and print some graphics and it comes out fine, so
ruling out everything else, it has to be something up with Linux. I've tried
Ghostscript 5.50 from the Alladin web site with a sample .PS file using the
following command string from Michael Holve's web site and I still get
garbage results:
gs @stc.upp -sOutputFile="|lpr" yourfile.ps -c quit
In the printtool I have tried both "PRINT TEST ASCII TO DEVICE" and "PRINT
TEST ASCII DIRECTLY TO PORT" (or whatever those two menu options actually
say) and both print, both produce the same garbage output, it prints
recognisable text, but there are spaces missing, weird font size changes and
complete words missing in some places.
I would like to use the printer on the Linux machine as a "raw" printer, so
that whatever is sent to it from Windows or MacOS will get output and let
the drivers on those machines do all the hard work.
So any ideas what I'm doing wrong here? I've read over this, and other,
newsgroups on DejaNews, and the mailing lists that I can find, for answers
but nobody seems to be having this particular problem. Any thoughts? If I
can just get the Epson to print out straight text from Linux without any
weird behaviour I'll be happy for now as that will at least give me a clue
as to what's going on.
Oh, one more point before I finish, if I use printtool and set the printer
as a "Postscript Device", even though we know it's not, and then print, the
Postscript commands that get sent come out as plain text, obviously, but
they come out perfectly, no font changes, no weird capitalising behaviour,
just as though it were raw text being sent.

Subject: Linux FREEZES!
I installed Linux Slackware 3.5 on a PII 333 Mhz, 96 Mb RAM, 8Gb HD EIDE
(SOYO 6KBE motherboard, AWARD BIOS), Expertcolor 4 Mb S3 AGP graphic
adapter (DV5357).
An ISA sound blaster, an ISA 3C503 and a PCI INTEL video camera card are
also fitted in their slots.
A 100 Mb swap partition is present.
It works fine but it hangs when using some applications, like games,
ghostview, textedit, ...
Simply the system (keyboard, mouse, applications) stops responding and I
must hardware reset.
I defined 94 Mb RAM in LILO boot, to avoid possible top memory
conflicts, but the problem persists.
I have the same problem with Red Hat 5.0 installed in another hard drive
partition.
The crashes are much more frequent with 24 bit color X server instead of
8 bit color X server (XFree 3.3.2).
Can anybody help me ? Do you have any idea how to solve it ?

sfxload is a separate program that was written by the same fellow who wrote the
AWE64 drivers for the 2.1/2.2 kernels. Best bet is to check the Documentation
directory in the latest 2.2.0pre* kernel tree for the details. The sfxload
program is used to load soundfonts; I have mine set up so that it's run during
one of the last stages of start-up (after the modules are loaded, etc.) and it
plays "My name is Linus Torvalds and I pronounce Linux as Linux" just before
issuing the login prompt. It's a good way to verify that all the sound
components are up and running !

I have an Epson ActionScanner II parallel port connected scanner which
uses the TWAIN drivers. I have successfully configured it on a Red Hat
5.1 machine running 2.0.34.
Have not used it in a while since I enjoy my Linux laptop more. Let me
find the details on setting it up.
Your kernel must be configured for lp support of course... in "dmesg"
you should see
...
lp0 at 0x03bc, (polling)
lp1 at 0x0378, (polling)
...
Your scanner should make some initial noise during boot, just like in
windows 95, provided it normally makes a noise when the parallel port it
scanned.
I have the package sane-0.74 installed. I just checked freshmeat.net
and looks like newer versions of sane are out, but the old version works
fine.
Sane home page is http://www.mostang.com/sane/
...
Sane configuration
My scanner is on lp1 which from above in dmesg you can see is 0x0378.
in /usr/local/etc/sane.d I created a epson.conf file.
The contents of the file is simply:
# /usr/local/etc/sane.d/epson.conf
0x378
...
Then simply
# scanimage epson
or better
# xscanimage epson
...
If I remember.. I could only get scanning to work as root.
I banged my head for hours on this problem, much like yourself... I had
one nice happy dance once this was working... then proceeded to not use
since October 15th (timestamp on my epson.conf file).
Let me know if you have any questions... remove what is obviously not
real from my email address to talk directly.

Sorry, I don't understand that.

Can this setup work on Linux? I think it can't with the latest stable kernel

No problems whatsoever.. except for the Adaptec x7xxx scsi controller
embedded on the motherboard. This can be fixed with a patch from RedHat.

so the solution might be here:

We just purchased a Siemens Primergy (Dual P-II, 512 Mb, 36 Gb hd)
server. I know this hardware is of high quality (I used to work for a
company that sells these servers) and Siemens seems to be very serious
about supporting Linux. As I understand it they are in fact certifying
their hardware to be Linux compatible. On the client side they even
sell a linux based NC. I also know that a big Quad Xeon processor server
running Linux was used to build a large linux cluster in Germany.
I got some reactions from several people about Linux on Siemens-hardware
on the the linux-smp list. You can find the archives for this list at
http://www.linuxhq.com/lnxlists/linux-smp/. I posted my questions in
december 1998.
Good luck with your choice.

These drives are only IDE drives aren't they? If they can
read a standard CD, you should be able to install Linux from
them. If they are SCSI, you may need a kernel that has the
correct driver for them.
I would think you may be able to use them later on from within
Linux to make a CD. Look for the "cdrecord" program and its
web site for more information on whether these drives can be
used within Linux

Any comments on the Cardinal Connecta 56K X2 D/F Modem (V.90 flash
Upgradable) ??
It says that it will work with a 386, so it is definitly not a winmodem...
The question is: how good it is?
