Hi everyone
I thought I would give a progress report.
I have sort of made some progress, I couldn't get Wine to recognise the
scanner, so I am now trying QEMU.
I have had to use the CVS version for the parallel port to work, however the
Windows scanner driver is still not recognizing the scanner.
I have however enabled the debug option on the parallel port driver and have
captured the data to and from the scanner on loading the driver.
QEMU uses /dev/parport0 and I just need to figure out what is going wrong with
the data, port reporting it is in the wrong mode or whatever. Unless it is a
speed problem hopefully I should be able to sort this out.
I haven't done any parallel port programming so first I need to figure out
what bits do what, then hopefully I should be able to work out what the data
below means, this is the start of the capture, which is actually 1216 lines
long.
addr=0x00 is data
addr=0x01 is status
addr=0x02 is control
parallel: read addr=0x02 val=0x0c
parallel: write addr=0x02 val=0x0c
parallel: write addr=0x00 val=0xaa
parallel: read addr=0x00 val=0xaa
parallel: read addr=0x02 val=0x0c
parallel: write addr=0x02 val=0x08
parallel: write addr=0x02 val=0x0c
parallel: read addr=0x01 val=0xff
parallel: read addr=0x01 val=0xff
parallel: read addr=0x02 val=0x0c
parallel: write addr=0x02 val=0x08
parallel: write addr=0x02 val=0x0c
parallel: read addr=0x01 val=0xff
parallel: write addr=0x02 val=0xc8
parallel: read addr=0x02 val=0x08
parallel: read addr=0x02 val=0x08
parallel: read addr=0x02 val=0x08
parallel: write addr=0x02 val=0xcc
parallel: read addr=0x02 val=0x0c
parallel: read addr=0x01 val=0xff
parallel: read addr=0x02 val=0x0c
parallel: read addr=0x02 val=0x0c
parallel: read addr=0x02 val=0x0c
