To: hackers@freebsd.org Date: Wed, 29 Oct 1997 18:04:30 +0100 (MET) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I have just bought an HP Scanject5p, which is really cheap and fast. It more or less works with the "hpscan" program that I found in the port collection, but there are probably some incompatibilities, maybe due to some commands which are not supported by the scanner. In any case, i am not completely satisfied with the GUI so am trying to write a different GUI based on tk/tcl -- it also serves me as an exercise. Is there anyone who has some code to talk to the HP ScanJet5p (or some other HP scanner) to use as a reference ?
