>I have never written a device driver before and am thinking my unsupported

>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?
