Some new scanners are so cheap, and supported by xsane..etc that the time/money you save by investing in a new scanner, usb, is worth the expense. If needed you can get a pci usb 2.0 card that works with Debian, and is fast. Parallel ports are relatively slow. -- Greg C.

Have you looked up your scanner model at sane-project.org? They have lists of what is (and is not) supported. I have a Hewlett-Packard scanjet 4670. On the sane-project list, it is unsupported, but sane knows there's a scanner of *some* type hooked up. That's as far as it gets, though. Not worried about that one, though.

Parallel Port Scanner
Hi folks! Some days ago someone posted here a link to a page where I would find notes and/or drivers for using a parallel port scanner under Linux... OK, but the *%$@ here entered the page with Netscape and deleted the message... but, as always, netscape crashed before I could save the page into my bookmarks, so could anyone post it again??? TIA, Guilherme Zahn

Re: Parallel Port Scanner
Hey! No wonder everybody just loves this list! In a few minutes I got a couple of GREAT answers! I've followed the links and found myself stuck again in a dilemma... My PP Scanner is made by a Brazilian company (TCE), so I guess it's just an OEM repackage... Anyway, I know it supports a TWAIN driver... Now, what the hell is a TWAIN driver? I've been trying to find it out, but to no success... I think it means my scanner shall be a SCSI-based parallel port device, isn't it? On the other hand, I'm trying to get in touch with TCE's e-mail support to have more info on it (but they are so slow and, you know, I couldn't help asking you all! ;-) TIA Guilherme Zahn

TWAIN is a software standard for scanners. Unfortunately, it's a standard that's nearly useless for a Real OS. There's an anemic Mac port, and once there was a halfhearted attempt to get it ported to OS/2. Basically, in most cases the fact that it has a TWAIN driver means nada for using it under Linux. It specifies nothing about the hardware. I'd really suggest looking at SANE's webpage. There's really only a few chances for you. 1. Set up SANE, and try each of the drivers, and hope you get lucky. 2. Try running the scanner software under WINE, the windows emulator. 3. Try running the software under windows, and then run WINSANE, which will make the scanner available to Linux over a network. 4. Wait for someone to write a SANE driver. 5. Write a SANE driver.

Thank you many times in forward. SANE's home page is at: http://www.mostang.com/sane/. This is a project that supports scanners for a wide variety of operating systems, including Linux, *BSD, OS/2, Solaris, IRIX, etc. I'm afraid that parallel-port scanners are not very well supported yet. Still, you can look and ask around. It might be possible to get the specification and write the code to allow SANE to use it, if it's not currently supported. Unfortunately, TWAIN is a software-only specification, and in fact is pretty much Windows-only. As far as Linux is concerned, TWAIN is useless. However, one of the nice things about SANE is that it's not tied to an operating system, and in fact allows you to scan from a computer on a network. There is work underway that might allow you to put the scanner on a Windows machine, and use it as a scan server from Linux. Not ideal, but better than nothing.
