Morning All,

Anybody ever managed to configure the HP4200 backend for Sane? If so, I'd appreciate having it explained to me in easy steps. The conf file for the HP4200 backend is blank. I've been to the Sane site but learned nothing useful.

Although HardDrake detects my usb scanner, Sane & Xsane cannot see it.

I've never had any luck with Scanners under Linux - this is the third one I've tried. It's keeping me shackled to Windoze when I really don't want to be.

I'm running Mandrake 9 with the Sane 1.0.9 rpm installed

1st, uninstall sane's rpm. then follow the instructions at http://hp4200-backend.sourceforge.net/. the sane sources can be found at http://www.mostang.com/sane/source.html.


be sure to backup Makefile after compiling!

hope this helps

cheers,

-- joe
