Hello,

at

http://www.kirchgessner.net

you can find a beta-version of the hp-backend that hopefully supports
parallel HP scanners. To test it with parallel interface, you need to change
your
/usr/local/etc/sane.d/hp.conf - file:

/dev/scanner parallel

tells the backend, that the specified device is connected by parallel port.
As with the patch of the old backend (thanks to James Carter), it accesses the
port
directly with open(), close(), read(), write().
Reports that it works would be the best. If it does not work, set the
environment
variable SANE_HP_DEBUG=5 and send the resulting printout to pkirchg@aol.com.
As with other SANE-software, you should be aware that you use the software
AT YOUR OWN RISK. I dont have a parallel scanner and could not test it.

Sincerely

Peter
