I've just been offered an interesting looking scanner (http://www.zdnet.com/products/stories/reviews/0,4161,352235,00.html). The trouble is, the damn thing is only available with a parallel port interface. Can anybody answer the following questions: 1. Is there anything like a "standard" for parallel port scanners? 2. Do we support them? In this case, it's the Plustek OpticPro 9636T. 3. This scanner claims 1200dpi × 600dpi × 36 bits, which makes a total of 3.2 MB/sq in. On a full sheet of paper, that's about 300 MB. What kind of compression do they use? 4. Does anybody know this particular scanner?
