If you could pass on whatever code you had, if you still have it, it might help get me started. > I'm always thankful if somebody wants to take over a part of the backend > by adding support for a scanner.

But even if I end up buying a new scanner, it might still be an interesting project. > The low-level communication is already there, and the mustek_pp backend > is written in such a way that you only have to implement the scanner > protocol, the SANE protocol is handled by generic wrappers.

It would be great if you could find some info for me. Even though it's an old scanner, the Windoze driver is still available for download, so one would think there would be some info available somewhere, if Mustek can be persuaded to turn it over. Even just the source for the driver, if nothing else. > kind regards > -- jochen Thanks, -- Ron ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net Opinions expressed here are all mine.
