<i> &gt;I recently purchased a Microtek SlimScan C3 Parallel Port Scanner as I</i><br>
<i> &gt;dont have a SCSI card, and as you all probably know, its unsupported.</i><br>
...<br>
<i> &gt;I was wondering if there was any plan in the future to try to support</i><br>
<i> &gt;these Microtek parallel port scanners? I wouldnt mind being a guinea pig</i><br>
<i> &gt;or helping out in any way I could, however I dont know C well enough to do</i><br>
<i> &gt;anything useful in that area.</i><br>
<p>
Marcel Pol wrote mail to this list [1] saying that his Pagewizard was<br>
recognized by the scsi system by using the ppSCSI drivers [2] -- I'm<br>
almost certain that his scanner will work with the microtek driver<br>
now that it looks like a scsi device (given a patch or two regarding<br>
the scanner id).<br>
<p>
I just peeked at the ppSCSI page, and it mentions explicitly:<br>
<p>
"In particular, the HP-5200C parallel port scanner and the Microtek<br>
ScanMaker v310 have been tested with the epst and onscsi modules,<br>
respectively, using the SANE tools."<br>
<p>
(That would have been with the microtek2 backend.)<br>
<p>
Looks like a good sign....<br>
