I would like to add the .desc file to CVS (external backends) so your backend is found in the scanner search engine. I've edited your file a bit. If you write one entry for each model, it's found easier (nobody seaches for 54xx). Do you have a 5400 and 5470? As far as I know, the 5490 is similar, therefore I've added it as "untested". Is this correct?
