At first glance, this sounds like it would fall under the same type of<br>
|
|
system as having saned on the Win box, and using saned on your Linux box<br>
|
|
handle the network protocol. However, it would need the saned on the Win<br>
|
|
box to talk to the Windows scanner driver via TWAIN, and TWAIN allows the<br>
|
|
scanner driver to have the GUI built into the driver. This would mean you<br>
|
|
need to be sitting at the Win box to handle the TWAIN GUI, and at that<br>
|
|
point you might as well scan the image under Windows and FTP it over to<br>
|
|
your Linux box. If saned on the Win box talked directly to the PPort, you<br>
|
|
would be back in the same situation as we are with SANE all over - you<br>
|
|
need to get the protocol from the manufacturer.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
However, if the scanner is supported under SANE, it would be possible to<br>
|
|
create a SANE backend to run under Windows - in fact many people have<br>
|
|
expressed a desire to do this, but the last I recall was that the people<br>
|
|
who know SANE and the people who know TWAIN and the people who know the<br>
|
|
saned network protocol weren't the same people...<br>
|
