Charles;

I'm on a similar project, to find a driver for an HP 3200C oldie scanner.  
Look at http://cyberelk.net/parport/parport.html

I glued the page in:

 External Parallel Port devices and Linux

Many external peripheral devices are available in versions that connect to a 
personal computer's parallel printer port. Over the last couple of years, 
much work has gone into developing drivers so that these devices can be used 
with the Linux operating system. If you have a parallel port peripheral and 
would like to see if a Linux driver is available, this is the place to look.

Some of these drivers have been written using reverse engineering techniques 
because their manufacturers have been unwilling or unable to provide 
technical information to Linux developers. Even when they were unable to 
provide specific information, some vendors have contributed hardware as a way 
of acknowledging the importance of the Linux market. We extend our thanks to 
all the people who have helped in one way or another.

 The linux-parport mailing list

If you don't find information here about a product that you are interested in, 
you can contact developers and other interested users through the 
linux-parport mailing list (the archive is also available at that location).

When sending mail to the list, you should also be careful to use text 
formatting only. Messages in HTML or in Microsoft proprietary formats will 
most likely be deleted without being processed or read.

 Archive of old linux-parport mailing list messages

The linux-parport mailing list moved at the beginning of 2004. You can look 
back through the list archives from before then by visiting 
http://cyberelk.net/tim/parport/archive/.

 Did we miss something?

If you have or know about a page that should be linked here, please send the
