Hello everybody, Owning an excellent HP scanjet 5470c scanner, I would like to make it wor= k=20 with my mandrake 9.0 linux box as I would like to get rid of Win2k.
USB Snoopy helped me to get some logs of : * turn on/off the scanner * turn on/off the HP scanning software * preview scan in full color * scan whole area in Black & White using these logs and the testtool upon libusb by Bertrik Sikken=20 (http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~bertrik/hp5400/index.html), I managed to make= the=20 scanner move but not to scan as some bulk_written data are missing in the= =20 logs and also because I have till now no experience with writing device=20 drivers. Finally, is there anyone out there who dedicates some time to write a bac= k-end for this family of scanner ? Could I help him/her in some way ? Else, is there a "how-to" about writing sane backend ? Happy new year to the sane family. Thomas
