OK. It's not very well written, just a hacked together C file that accesses the parallel port directly and uses the Allegro library to save the image as a bitmap. Lots of stuff is hard coded that shouldn't be. But I'm happy to put it up somewhere if people want to see how it works. I don't have a copy here at work with me but I'll post it somewhere when I get home and send the URL. > > The idea is ok.

It looks quite different from my code - it seems to access a '/dev/ports' device, whereas I just used the ports directly. I don't know much about parallel ports really, I just mimicked the Windows driver. Anyway, I'll have a try at getting my scanner to work with SANE. Thanks, James
