Hello,

i understand what you wrote, tried different bios settings and different
machines (SUN Ultra Sparc 60, Dell Latitude 640, ASROC Based X86_64 self made
machine, Fujitsu Siemens T-Bird). There was no machine with none of a bios
setting where i could scan. maybe i havbe got different error messages. did not
save them. will try to scan (install) hplip again. did you test it on a sun
sparc using solaris 10, too? should it work? i am not shure how to set up
parport mode on the sun machine. this machine does not have a "standard" bios
like ix86 based machines. what solutions are possible?

best regards, harald.
