On this one I have NO idea...I have a SCSI scanner (um...are you SURE its a parallel port scanner?)
any way... debian-mentors isn't really the place for this. It is for people who are working on making debian packages. I would suggest reposting to debian-user... there are allot more debian-user readers and someone may be able to respond very quickly. -Steve On Sun, Oct 04, 1998 at 09:36:35PM -0400, Bedrock LAN Administrator wrote: > Greetings folx.
