<EM>&gt; As far as I know, sane will only support SCSI scanners, as SCSI is a
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; published standard, whereas most Parallel devices use a proprietary
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; protocol. Some parallel devices may be reverse-engineered, but very
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; few.
</EM><BR>
<P>Hum, a good few parallel scanners work under Sane. These include a
<BR>
raft of HP and Epson models. Some other parallel scanners are also
<BR>
supported. For further details please see
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<A HREF="http://www.buzzard.org.uk/jonathan/scanners.html">http://www.buzzard.org.uk/jonathan/scanners.html</A>
<BR>
<P>As a plea to whoever runs the sane web pages, can we have a link from
<BR>
the supported scanners page to here. I am getting over 2500 users a
<BR>
months against this page, yet there is not a single link from the Sane
<BR>
pages to it.
<BR>
<P>There are also a number of USB scanners that are supported (mostly HP ones).
<BR>
With the release of the docs from National Semiconductor for their
<BR>
LM983x series of scanner on a chip devices a good few parallel and USB
<BR>
scanners are likely to be supportable in the future.
<BR>
<P>Other scanners such as the Umax Astra 2200su, and the Epson GT7000 USB
<BR>
may also work under Sane/Linux with the USB scanner driver
<BR>
<P><P>JAB.
