Well,
I had some problems with my printer, when I compiled the parport stuff as
module.... (Kernel 2.2.x). I didn´t try the scanner with this config, but when
I compiled the parport stuff directly into the kernel the printer works (and
the scanner also... ;-)
Not sure if this helps...
But I think the really significant difference between you and Colin is the
Windows95 driver... (I think your D600 driver is named vpmxd2.vxd, isn´t it?)
Marco found out that there are quite large differencies between the vpmxd and
the vpmxd2 driver... Perhaps Colin´s scanner is named D600, but is not an
original one.
Knowing the IC types would help us very much!
Thank you.
