Hi,
I also have one of these and tried to get it working under linux sometime ago,
I tried to capture the data sent to the scanner in windows, but the capture
program could not manage it.
I would be interested in getting it working, I have done some programming and
used an i2c capture device with my Adaptec AVC-2410 video capture card and
have now added support for the card to the ivtv project, with some
programming assistance from someone with a different Adaptec card.
Is there a similar method of capturing data (using a separate computer to
capture the data) for the parallel port so I could get the data that way?
Best Regards
Trev
