I have never written a device driver before and am thinking my unsupported
scanner might be a good place to start. The problem is the company that
made my scanner is probably out of business.
The company is Scanpaq, Inc.
It is a scanport parallel port TWAIN scanner. Will I be able to work
without specific hardware information about the scanner? Is TWAIN a
general purpose API?
If you think it is possible what is a good roadmap of resources to get
started. For instance I have the O'Rreilly Linux Device Driver book. Are
there good resources about writing drives for the parallel port and
scanners? Then I'll need to integrate with SANE, correct?
Thanks,
washu

deeper and deeper assumptions, a delight in finding himself in new
territory without answers, and thus innocent. We are always innocent,
unless, from laziness or for convenience, we decide to overlook the
novelty of the moment, this particular now.
