The HP4470 is probably supported by the "scanner" kernel module, but this module only provides the transport of data to and from the scanner. You should be able to check this by running lsmod and seeing if it lists a module called scanner. Otherwise you can try to insmod it. In order to actually use the scanner, you need additional software, like SANE (http://www.mostang.com/sane). This is userspace software. Unfortunately your scanner is not supported yet by sane. There is someone experimenting with this scanner at this page http://reapoff.sourceforge.net/hpscanner All the best, Bertrik Sikken ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
