Hey, scanner brother! 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...
