raw parallel device Q

Since I have been doing completly unrelated lowlevel S/W I don't know if

this will work but here goes.

Is it possible to give commands to a parallel device via a socket
connection?
What I was thinking is Linux box has a parallel scanner. I want to make
an IPC
style connection to the serial device via a socket, then create a
"virtual" connection
to that port on a M$ box that has the correct driver.Since Win9X doesn
share
reliably, we have put all of the shareable devices on the server.

Any thoughts? Am I out of my mind? *)

Thanks,

Chris
