AGAIN this list has come through....wish it was this easy to get info from
other sources. Whitin a few minutes of my original post I got an answer. All
the answers so far have provided me with an alternative based on PUBLIC DOMAIN
or a commercial product. I have not tried either yet, but I will contact both
the commercial sources and look at the freeware driver in detail later....I
will again summarize what I found.

THANKS TO ALL YOU GUYS OUT THERE THAT RESPONDED...

---------SUMMARY OF ORIGINAL POST---------
SUN SPARC4 classroom, running Solaris 2.4...Have HP SCANJET SCANNER with SCSI
connection. Was looking for driver to run the scanner directly from the SUN
Box.

We use HP's Scanjet 4c with software, either from APUNIX or Pectronics to
drive the scanner and provide OCR support.

Works great..

Carlos --
Check the SUn Managers FAQ for a free one, or call Mentalix! in Dallas
Texas for a very nice package with lots of cool features.

good luck.

We're using the Pixel-FX software from Mentalix on Solaris-2 systems using
HP scanners. They only support a few models though.
