Yes, that's one of the reasons why most people don't like the parport. The best starting point is probably the mustek_pp backend. I'm not the Mustek parport specialist (Jochen Eisinger is :-) so I can only say: I'm not working on this scanner and I don't know anyone who is. The SANE projects file also has no entry for your scanner. > 3) Somebody should add newbie guide on sane site ! There is nothing for > unexperienced users. Could you go into more detail which documentation you are missing? In my humble opinion there is much documentation. A tutorial, an FAQ, man pages, web site links and so on. Additional documentation (or links) are always appreciated. > Nobody will use Linux except hackers if there will be no simple > configuration interface for each device type ! believe me :) For discussions on "simple configuration interfaces" have a look at the mailing-list archive. Please keep discussions about what the Linux community must do from this list. sane-devel is about SANE not Linux. Yes, I have seen the smily but you never know... Bye, Henning
