Thanks, Rick and Roxanne.
The thing about the One Touch scanner is that it has buttons on it that
have different functionality; not just the "scan" button. One of the
buttons will send the image directly to the printer on the pass-through
port. (I believe this is how it works, as I have not seen the product yet.)
I can use a second parallel port on a card (although I am a little tight
on slots), but that would, I think, defeat this very nice feature that
turns the scanner into a copier, more or less.
I was concerned with whether the EPP signal would mess up the
printer the same way the ECP signal did. (Doug's reply said
probably not .) Anybody with an HP 4 and an EPP pass-through
scanner attached (or not attached!!) should be able to give
a definitive answer.
