I've >never been starting however (due to lack of time). I actually started messing with it last week, and put it down for lack of time. I picked it up again yesterday (Saturday), and I've gotten a pretty good start on doing the conversion of the code to FreeBSD. I'm hoping to finish up the initial work early this week since I need it for a scanner at work. However, my scanner is an HP 3C, and the pint stuff only 'officially' supports the HP 2 series. Assuming they aren't too different I hope to have it working by the end of the week.
