I'd like to ask about drivers - are there any available for freebsd? the box I'm considering is a Black Widow 9630 S, which uses a SCSII II interface. It comes with a well reveiwed TWAIN driver, does any one know if TWAIN drivers are available for UNIX ? But if any one knows of drivers for other scanners I'd welcome the information. printers -------- I'm using a b&w postscript printer at the moment, but would like to take advantage of some of the cheap colour printers around, but my favorite swre (e.g. emacs) seems to only generate Postscript, anyone have any ideas - conversion from postscript etc... thanks Ruth -- ================================================ Ruth Moulton ruth@muswell.demon.co.uk Consultant 65 Tetherdown, London N.10 1NH, UK Tel:+44 181 883 5823 -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
