Since someone asked... (and I have no idea what is the proper group for
this!). Usual disclaimer on why i haven't made a port of this...

i ended up with a locally hacked version of hpscanpbm. It originally
produced pbm only, i fixed the commands issued to the scanner so that
the scanjet5p now is happy, and also added some code to produce bits
which can be fed directly to my laserjet printer so that i have a fast
copy machine...

For user interface, i used tkscan when i am really desperate (or want
to show up with somebody who cannot type on a keyboard...

Both programs have linux origins, i forget the original url, but the
code i use you can find at

	http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/hpscanpbm.c
	http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/tkscan (it's a Tk/tcl program)

hope this helps. Feel free to cleanup/redistribute them as you like.
i think the original sources are gpl-ed.

	cheers
	luigi
