I'm also currently enrolled as a PhD student in Engineering Science at The University of Auckland where I use Linux for my research on equine hoof biomechanics.
My contributions so far to the Linux / Open Source community are:
-Wrote the Ghostscript driver for the Epson stylus color 300 printer.
+Wrote the Ghostscript driver for the Epson stylus color 300 printer. This printer uses a cut down subset of ESC P/2 so would not work with the usual ESC P/2 drivers. Instead of simply changing a config file I had to update the driver code to make it work. This printer probably still doesn't work with gimp-print because that uses standard ESC P/2. I had a look at writing a gimp-print driver but it would have required much more effort than the Ghostscript driver and I ran out of time unemployed
.
-Co-write the SANE driver for the Microtek Scanmaker 3600 scanner. Don't buy this scanner, the
driver works but is not fully functional and is a bit dodgy. This is because we only had limited info about it from Microtek and had to reverse engineer a lot of it.

, there are better options. The
driver works but is not fully functional and is a bit dodgy. This is because we only had limited info about it from Microtek and had to reverse engineer a lot of it. During the development I managed to toast the firmware in my scanner luckily Microtek were able to easily update
it.
