ScanJet on Series 400

mbfriedman@amherst.bitnet (05/17/91)

    We need some information regarding talking to an HP ScanJet
    through the parallel port on the back of a Series 400 Computer
    running HP-UX 7.03. We have the new parallel kernel driver, 
    and can talk to parallel printers fine, but we don't seem to be
    able to talk to the ScanJet at all. The documentation we got
    in the shar does not cover talking to ScanJet's. Any help would
    be appreciated
   
    We do have the Developers Guide and which escape codes to use
    are *NOT* the problem!

                                      thanks,  Mike Friedman

I have a contributed application (Xhpscan) which I was unable to send to
mbfriedman@amherst.bitnet ("host unknown").  Please send email to an address
below, and include a return path that can handle a 400K shar.
