Hello,

I appologize if I have not sent this message to the right address, please
forward it on if that is the case.
I am working with an HP scanner coupled to my printer through the parallel
port. I believe I have sucessfully installed sane and added lines to the
/etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf.

[root@wiz tools]# ./find-scanner -v

Type ``scanimage --help -d DEVICE'' to get list of all options for DEVICE.

List of available devices:
pnm:0 pnm:1

and I can not reconcile exactly what/where pnm:0 and pnm:1 are.

My scanner is on lp1. Or maybe I am using the wrong package for this type
of connection.

Any help you can offer will be appreciated.
