Hi,<br>
<p>
I have never written a device driver before and am thinking my unsupported<br>
scanner might be a good place to start. The problem is the company that<br>
made my scanner is probably out of business. <br>
<p>
The company is Scanpaq, Inc. <br>
It is a scanport parallel port TWAIN scanner. Will I be able to work<br>
without specific hardware information about the scanner? Is TWAIN a<br>
general purpose API? <br>
<p>
If you think it is possible what is a good roadmap of resources to get<br>
started. For instance I have the O'Rreilly Linux Device Driver book. Are<br>
there good resources about writing drives for the parallel port and<br>
scanners? Then I'll need to integrate with SANE, correct? <br>
<p>
Thanks,<br>
washu<br>

His work was very much a personal inquiry, a continuous questioning of<br>
deeper and deeper assumptions, a delight in finding himself in new<br>
territory without answers, and thus innocent. We are always innocent,<br>
unless, from laziness or for convenience, we decide to overlook the<br>
novelty of the moment, this particular now.<br>
