I thought I was the only one to be so unfortunate. See, the problem is this: HP is *usually* pretty good at releasing the necessary info for the Sane people to write a driver, but in this case it uses a weird chipset and there is currently no info or driver available *anywhere*. I've bitched several times on the HP support page, searched Googe/linux til my *eyes bled*, it ain't gonna work. Watch, now that I said that, Sane will announce a backend tomorrow... -- + Joe Hill + Registered Linux user #282046 + Homepage: http://nodex.sytes.net + ICQ# 279518458 + "I'm even lethal when I'm unarmed, + cuz I'm louder than a bomb!" + - Chuck D, Public Enemy
