I can confirm this - I set a PSC 750 up in about 10 minutes the other day, and it works perfectly. - (su) rchplip start - run HP Toolbox to set up the printer (K -> System -> Monitor -> hp-toolbox) - I didn't bother using YaST for this, but could have - run YaST -> Hardware -> Scanner to set up the scanner (it wasn't detected, so it had to be added manually - just choose the model from the list) - press Scan on the HP Toolbox - in the new window, press Scan - select Color and 300dpi for best results - the scan will be saved to out.pnm by default - choose an alternative if necessary - run "pnmtotiff out.pnm > out.tif" to convert to tiff format - run "tesseract out.tif out.txt" to OCR the output into out.txt (i'm using Tesseract for OCR, and the resulats are quite good) - you can also run the threshold tool over the scan in GIMP to increase the contrast, but this didn't seem to greatly increase the OCR accuracy -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly blog.thinkopen.co.uk - Me Myself Why? www.kyfieithu.co.uk - KDE yn Gymraeg www.klebran.org.uk - Gwirydd gramadeg rhydd i'r Gymraeg www.eurfa.org.uk - Geiriadur rhydd i'r Gymraeg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
