Hi,
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; I'm new at developing scanner drivers for linux. Could anyone tell me
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; how to get started on developing one? In other words, do I need to get
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; any specs from the company that made the scanner?
</EM><BR>
<P>Yes, this would be the best and easiest way. You may try to listen to the
<BR>
Windows driver (e.g. with WINE) or disassemble the Windows driver but this
<BR>
will be very hard and I think it's not worth the work.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; Or is it just using
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; one of the other scanner drivers as a template and tweaking it until the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; scanner works right?
</EM><BR>
<P>If your scanner is very similar to one for that a backend exists, this may
<BR>
work.
<BR>
<P>Bye,
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Henning
