I believe Eberhard has it on his site somewhere. It has a very unixy -switch command line but it's not awfully bad to use. I have a foreign command defimed to activate it. Here's its command opts: -dpi sets x & y scan resolution in dots per inch -xdpi sets x scan resolution only (default 100) -ydpi sets y scan resolution only (default 100) -xres sets desired number of x-pixels on output image -yres sets desired number of y-pixels on output image -in specify scan region in inches (default) -cm specify scan region in centimeters -mm specify scan region in millimeters -x specify upper left x of scan region (default 0.0) -y specify upper left y of scan region (default 0.0) -width specify width of scan region (default 8.5in) -height specify height of scan region (default 11.0in) -bright specify brightness adjustment (-1.0 to 1.0, default 0.0) -cont specify contrast adjustment (-1.0 to 1.0, default 0.0) -dev scsi generic device of scanner (default autoprobe) -o,-out output file (default stdout) -quiet turn off informational messages -load read parameter settings from file -save save current parameter settings to file -format pixel format: thresholded, dithered, greyscale, color Nearly all of the pix on my web site were produced with HPSCAN and HP 4c on an AlphaStation 200. -- VAXman- OpenVMS APE certification number: AAA-0001 VAXman(at)TMESIS(dot)COM city, n., 1. a place where trees are cut down and streets are named after them.
