I need some help and direction to where or whom to talk to.
I need to stream line or automate the scanner process for
Linux.
I am looking for some help to write a driver and some other
functions for a scanner project.
Let me know if you are interest in helping out or for a fee.
I want to automate the scanner process. Turn it into a fax
alike.
You know how we only need to push one button on the fax
machine. That is how I
would like to see a scanner able to perform.
Having said that, I am looking for someone who can help me to
write a USB driver, interface that allow the system to
automate the process.
Please write me at tom@hostwebase.com if you can and
interested.
Thanks,
Tom
