But, prior to that, I had a Colorado 600p which was, and I can relate a story. One evening after I had sent a 40 page file to the printer, the missus came in and wanted a page scanned. I dropped it on the scanner and fired up the single purpose (not sane related) driver I was then using and asked it for a preview, totally forgetting that the parallel port was busy, which it did with only a second or so stoppage of the printer, then I asked it for the real thing, which it did and that stopped the printer in the middle of a line of graphics. When the scanner was done, the printer fired right back up with no visible glitches in the output of those 2 pages. So if you're asking can you print and scan at the same time, the answer is yes IF the scanner driver plays nice. Does sane do that? I dunno. >On Mon, 3 Jun 2002 11:40:23 +0200 > >Jochen Eisinger <jochen.eisin...@gmx.de> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> to which port is your scanner connected?
