pxscan-0.4   010104

pxscan is a driver for the Primax Colorado Direct 9600 scanner. The scanner is
connected to the printer port.

pxscan-0.4.tgz unpacks into its own subdirectory:

1. Go to the /root directory of the superuser ( or go to /usr/local ).
   You need to be superuser to do this!

cd /root  or  cd/usr/local

2. Move the file to that directory

mv /wherever_it_is/pxcsan-0.4.tgz .  ( note the little dot there at the end )

3. Unpack to get the pxscan-0.4 subdirectory. You need tar and gzip to do this.

tar -xvzf pxscan-0.4.tgz

4. Move yourself to the new directory

cd pxscan-0.4
   and take a look at the README file.

5. Try to compile. 'libtiff' is needed for this.

make

6. If it works, be happy! If not take it as a challenge. It may keep you off
   the streets for some time. For example, you probably don't have libtiff
   in the location expected by Makefile. Just edit the Makefile to your needs.

7. Copy the man-page called pxscan.1 to your directory for man pages. If you don't
   know where it is try the command manpath for a list of known places.

cp pxscan.1 /usr/local/man/man1
