Hello Steven, May be I can answer the first and the second question.
As you can see in the following url, HP 3970 scanner is not supported at all. http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-HEWLETT-PACKARD There isn't any code for this scanner's chip (RTS8822-01) and as I can see, it's functionability is a bit different from Realtek RTS8801B chip, used in other scanners: Unofficially, I've started to study this scanner two months ago, debugging instruction by instruction the library that manages the scanner in windows system (hpgt3970.dll). It's a very slow proccess. I don't know how much time will I spend before releasing a functional demo program. Main functions in that library are: HP_OP_INIT_SCANNER : Debugged and implemented succesfully. RT_OP_SET_PARAMETER: Debugged an implemented succesfully. RT_OP_START_SCAN : Already debugging. RT_OP_READ_IMAGE : Not debugged Sincerelly, JKD P.D.: I apologize about my english level El Tue, 24 de Aug de 2004, a las 09:33:11PM -0500, Steven P.
