That would be Pint, which I ported from NetBSD but it didn't work. I then found a pointer to an HP user-level driver that Richard Tobin wrote which works well in FreeBSD, so I gave up on Pint. Here's a snippet from the README ------- You can ftp this code from macbeth.cogsci.ed.ac.uk. This is (a very early version of) a SCSI driver for the HP ScanJet range of scanners and a corresponding graphical user interface. ------- Note, this is only for the HP scanners, and I've been using this code for about 2 months now w/out problems on an HP3C.
