there seems to be a serious lack of parallel port support of the
sane project. This is caused by the lack of protocoll information.
Looking at this mailing list, parallel port scanners seem to be
quite popular. I have got a Primax Colorado Direct
myself.
My questions:
Is it possible to monitor the parallel port with a second computer to
obtain information about the protocoll?
I attached a second computer to the pass-through parallel port
of the scanner.

While scanning under Win95 with one computer, the other was
able to get "some" data form the parallel port. I am really not an
expert in hardware. So i dont know whether this data ist usefull
or not.
