We have a number of HP9000/300's (375's and 345's) and recently we acquired an HP Scanjet Plus. We are planning on connecting it via the centronics interface on the 375 - and one of our local SE's is providing us with some limited control software to interface the 375 and the scanner. I understand that after scanning a page/document/whatever one is left with a file that is in a PCL format. Does anyone have or know of any OCR software that has been ported onto an HP9000 Series 300 ?? (We are running HP-UX 7.0 currently, soon to be 7.0.3). Any thoughts or insights would be appreciated. scott pinkerton scpinker@pikes.denver.colorado.edu

If your SE has an older copy, have them contact me. The necessary parallel driver is standard in 7.05, but sans documentation. It isn't fully supported until the next release after 7.05. > I understand that after scanning a page/document/whatever one is left with > a file that is in a PCL format. You can also use a contributed application, called "xhpscan", that provides a friendly human interface in an X window, and outputs standard files.
