Hi,

I got myself a scanner/copier that works standalone with my printer. It's an
OKI S700, and as it seems from the printer's status display it produces
postscript output. Of course, I'd be more than a little interested in
connecting that thing to the PC. To do this, I guess I need to have some
program emulate a printer on the parallel port so that the scanner thinks
it's connected to something. Afterwards, it'd just be grabbing the data
stream from the port, which such an emulator should be able to do.

Is there any program that can do this?
