  I recently acquired an old HP scanner- 9190AU.  Can
anyone give me more
 information on this unit- HP don't support it anymore. (it is old!)

  It looks to be almost the original Scanjet, as that's what it has on the
 front, HP Scanjet, with no letters or numerals following. The 9190AU
 designator is on the nameplate underneath.   It has a Centronics connector

It is indeed the original Scanjet; 9195 is the Scanjet+   Both used an HP
ISA card with a proprietary parallel interface, but SCSI-like protocols.
 There is some support for it in SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy).  If you
look in one of my colleagues's ftp directoriues, you'll find a couple of
relevant files:
