Peter,
Thanks for your interest. I'm sorry to report that HPLIP does not support
any Scanjet devices.
You may want to look here:
http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=HP&model=ScanJet&bus=any&v=&p=
and perhaps the sane project mailing list may be able to provide further
assistance.

I have found an error message which keeps appearing and since it appears
relevant it I have copied it as follows ....
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ scanimage -y 279.4
scanimage: option --br-y: illegal separator (rest of option: .4)
I am trying to use gscan2pdf to make a multiple page pdf file from scanned
images.
http://gscan2pdf.sourceforge.net/
The problem I have is that it does not work with my scanner for some
reason. The program installs but gives error messages when I try to run
it.
The program author is VERY helpful and he has looked at the debug output
from the program. His view is that the program is working but there is some
problem in getting it to work with this scanner.
My scanner is an HP Scanjet 3970
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=298548&lang=en&;
and I am running Ubuntu 7.04 with the latest kernel and all patches
installed.
I understand that the output of scanimage –help may be of assistance so
that is as follows
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ scanimage --help
Usage: scanimage [OPTION]...

standard output.

-i, --icc-profile=PROFILE include this ICC profile into TIFF file
-L, --list-devices show available scanner devices
-f, --formatted-device-list=FORMAT similar to -L, but the FORMAT of the
output
can be specified: %d (device name), %v
(vendor),
%m (model), %t (type), and %i (index number)
-b, --batch[=FORMAT] working in batch mode, FORMAT is `out%d.pnm' or
`out%d.tif' by default depending on --format
--batch-start=# page number to start naming files with
--batch-count=# how many pages to scan in batch mode
--batch-increment=# increase number in filename by an amount of #
--batch-double increment page number by two for 2sided

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
So I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of what I may do to make
this work. You will note that there is a TV capture card also listed
above, if there is any possibility that this could be contributing to the
problem I can take the card out.
Thanks for your help.....
