[hpoj-devel] testing with T65

[Gerard H. P. <gh...@sk...>]

Finally, the days of scanning with HP Officejet T65 are neigh.

David, if you weren't so ugly, I could kiss you.

After recompiling a 2.4.4 kernel without parport, xojpanel appeared,
showing almost exactly what was on the Officejet's display itself.  Only
the dust was lacking.  Even after dusting, xojpanel was still better
readable than the actual display.  I suppose this will improve in later
releases.  Still, the feeling I had when I saw there was something at
the other end of the parallel cable, will only be surpassed when
intelligent life will be found on earth.

hp-devid reports:
# ptal-devid mlc:par:0
ptalInit(): debug level set to 2.

But I am less lucky with scanimage, it hangs after:

I'm attaching strace output from the same session.  I am running a 2.4.4
SMP kernel on a Abit VP6 with two Intel 866Mhz PIII's.  CVS hpoj dates
from yesterday, and I'm using sane-backends-1.0.4.  Had to specify
--with-ptal=/usr/local and --enable-shared allthough these are supposed
to be default.  Otherwise sane configure did not find -lptal  (there is
no libptal.a and configure runs a test compiling -static).

Come on David, I know you can do it.
