[comp.unix.xenix] Scanners and VP/ix

jdw@hpfijdw.HP.COM (Jeff Wood) (12/28/89)

I am using SCO Xenix 2.3.2 with VP/ix 1.1.1 (Update A).
I have added a parallel port for an HP ScanJet Plus scanner.
I tried the scantest software that came with the unit.   
The test kept giving an error that it couldn't find 
the interface card.  I tried all four different switch 
settings for the interface card that were offered by the
installation software, none of which were recognized by 
the scantest software.

The software that is used for scanning seems to access this
parallel port directly.  Can this be done in VP/ix without
setting up some sort of COM(N) port in vpix.cnf???  Does it
have to reference some hard device file in Xenix???  How? :^()

Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!

Thanks,


Jeff
