I'd like to set a color flatbed scanner up on my wife's Linux <br>
|
||
box as a surprise anniversary gift, but I'm not entirely sure <br>
|
||
where to begin. Her system as it now stands is:<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
* '486DX4-120<br>
|
||
* 32Mb RAM<br>
|
||
* 200Mb and 1.2Gb IDE drives<br>
|
||
* 2S/1P<br>
|
||
* HP DeskJet 500 on LPT1 (fed via GhostScript)<br>
|
||
* Red Hat Linux 5.0 (with a few updates)<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
She's already got GTK+ and GIMP of course.<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
I've read the list archives and picked up a bit of info, but<br>
|
||
not enough to really make an informed decision and have it <br>
|
||
work! As I understand it, my options are something like this:<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
1. Install a SCSI adaptor, pick up a SCSI scanner that SANE<br>
|
||
likes, and hope for the best. My concern here is that the<br>
|
||
PC has never had any SCSI adaptors, and Linux was told <br>
|
||
this when I installed it, so I'm not sure it'd even notice.<br>
|
||
If I did this, would I have to reinstall the kernel,<br>
|
||
reinstall Linux, download GCC and rebuild the kernel, add<br>
|
||
a module for SCSI, or what? :)<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
2. Try to find out what parallel scanners (if any) SANE can<br>
|
||
handle - this information seems to be *very* scant! - and<br>
|
||
get one of those, then hope that the PPort can handle it<br>
|
||
(I have no idea whether it's bidirectional or whatever.)<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
I'm fairly familiar with Linux (been using it for a few years) <br>
|
||
and SCSI in the context of UNIX (IRIX), but setting up<br>
|
||
scanners is something I haven't messed with much. :)<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Any suggestions on how to accomplish this relatively painlessly?<br>
|
||
She's visiting her this week (leading up to our anniversary)<br>
|
||
so if anyone can point me in the right direction pretty fast,<br>
|
||
I should be able to have it up and running when she gets back.<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Thanks in advance,<br>
|
||
<p>
