Hello folks,
I have an old, but rather nifty, Primax color hand scanner which attaches
to the parallel port - the Primax ColorMobile Direct
(http://www.primax.nl/sup_colormobiledirect.htm). It works fine
under Windows. I'd love to get this thing working under Linux for my
laptop computer, where I have no Windows installed. I tried using
primax_scan-0.93beta3, which is apparently designed for Primax
flatbed parallel scanners, with no luck.
Is there any chance of getting this scanner to work under Linux?
Is there any way I can help development of a Linux driver?
Is it likely that I can get the scanner to work under WINE if I
install WINE, the Primax Windows driver, and a Windows scanning program,
or would this just be a waste of time?
I'd appreciate any input. Thanks in advance,
-Norman
