I've asked for USB vendor/product ids but haven't gotten an answer yet. I'll cite the mail so you can ask the author if you are interested in details: | 1. Your email address: | 'dkindler at dragonfireinc dot net' (modified by me) | -- | 2. Manufacturer (e.g. "Mustek"): | 'Hewlett Packard' | -- | 3. Model name (e.g. ScanExpress 1200UB): | 'Scanjet 8200' | -- | 4. Bus type: | 'USB' | -- | 5. Vendor- and product id: | 'HP Scanjet 8200' | | 6. Chipset (e.g. lm9831): | 'HP Avision C7' | -- | 7. Comments (e.g. similar to Mustek 1234): | 'I'm impressed with this HP scanner. It's a true 4800 x 4800 dpi | optical resolution.
