I will try one more time to get the HP5300C to working before giving up. I will download the 1.07 Sane, etc. and install them along with the latest Gimp etc. I do have a few questions though
Is the patch for the avision mentioned in http://www.neatech.nl/oss/HP5300C/ still required? If so, how do you do that, ie, what files etc. and details on this. I am new to linux so don't know much about it yet. Would also like some answers to the questions below. I have had nothing but problems with linux and hardware. First it was NVIDIA, then the PCMCIA, then the modem, then the sound, now the scanner. Seems like everytime I get one thing working, something else breaks. Hopefully linux will improve in that area.

This does not show up in my kernel config, however, I have an hp53xx module. There is also mention of a patch for the avision driver. Is this patch still applicable or is it by this time already built in? Should the scsi generic be as a module or compiled into the kernel? Should the hp53xx module be compiled into the kernel or as a module? Right now I have both compiled into the kernel and the cat /proc/scsi/scsi does not work where it worked before and I would like to know what is the right way. On one of the web articles, it said the scsi generic should be compiled into the kernel, not as a module and the hp53xx should be as a module, but that did not work either?
