My two cents comment;<br>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
Well, there are different solutions for this,<br>
|
|||
|
|
There is a Parallel->USB converter that supposelly support most printer. Did<br>
|
|||
|
|
anyone tried this with a scanner?<br>
|
|||
|
|
That might be a way to combine USB support and parallel problems...<br>
|
|||
|
|
I've also saw that HP6200C support USB and SCSI, are the command set<br>
|
|||
|
|
compatible? the same?<br>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
I do believe that USB scanner are still scanners, and that Sane is growing<br>
|
|||
|
|
very fast, therefore supporting all kind of scanner is a plus for this<br>
|
|||
|
|
project.<br>
|
|||
|
|
Of course, in order to do that the team will certainly have to grow,<br>
|
|||
|
|
therefore instead of people trying to refrain the developpment to SCSI only<br>
|
|||
|
|
or ...<br>
|
|||
|
|
Please be objective and let Sane grow into a wider scanner support and stop<br>
|
|||
|
|
complaining about supporting only this or that.<br>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
For example Linux started with 386 only few years ago, now it support, with<br>
|
|||
|
|
helps of thousands of developper, a very wide range of hardware.<br>
|
|||
|
|
Let's do the same with Sane.<br>
