According to Ray Henry:

OK, I've got an HP PhotoSmart P1000 connected to a system running RH 7.1. I've got the printer to print just fine, but have not been able to find any information on reading the SmartCard, except that it is supposed to be supported.

Any idea *where* I can find some type of documentaion on this? I's like to get away from MS 100%......

I'm not sure about that camera specifically, but many of these SmartCard based systems simply make the memory available as a FAT file system, emulating a disk drive. I've used USB memory sticks this way under Linux, and I assume it would be about the same thing with these. Linux fakes the driver interface to look like a SCSI disk. It should all just happen auto-magically when you plug the thing in, assuming you're using a recent Linux distribution with a 2.4 kernel. You would either use mtools, or mount the thing as a vfat file system type, to access the files under Linux. -- Gilbert E.
