Is this like an image scanner (like a photocopier)?

I was given 2 printers that I've never even used. I suspect the printer heads are long since dead and the extra ink cartridges may be too old. I was going to use them to can some illustrations for animation, when I get to it.

One day I'd also like to build a book scanner (I have a lot of books and art books), like the ones I saw over a dozen years ago at the Internet Archive in SF's Presidio (I think funded by Google). A friend in my building worked there, taking photos of old books, page by page, on a large apparatus, much like a cel animation camera stand.

Hi Jason, not really, it is a network port scanner to audit the security of TCP/IP networks, the main audience of this utility is penetration testers and security engineers.

Ah, very different indeed. Thanks for answering.

Any chance WireShark is one? I downloaded that but have never actually used it nor bothered to ever analyze my own network traffic.
