Re: HP ScanJet Plus + Debian 2.0
On this one I have NO idea...I have a SCSI scanner (um...are you SURE
its a parallel port scanner?)
any way...
debian-mentors isn't really the place for this. It is for people who are
working on making debian packages.
I would suggest reposting to debian-user...
there are allot more debian-user readers and someone may be able to respond
very quickly.
