Hello.
I have a HP Scanjet 2400 scanner, and I found out, that it's unsupported by
sane. Even in the Genesys backend. Will my scanner be supported, in the near
future? You know, I really want to use it under Linux, since I start
Windows rarely, and if I need to scan sg; than I 'm forced to use
Win. Thanks for the understanding and the time for reading this.

Subject: [sane-devel] hp ScanJet 5200C not working

Hi Dominik,
I use the HP 5200C a lot and it does work with
xsane and scanimage BUT I can not use the front
button via USB. I am talking to HP about the front button
and they are trying to help me. Soon I will try it with the
MS Windows software just to see if the button works.
I think perhaps the button does work via the parallel
port with xsane but I don't have the cable.
I also wrote a couple of simple utilities to talk to the
scanner directly by sending commands to /dev/usb/scanner0 .
But I am using 2.4.22-1.2199.nptlsmp (Fedora Core 1).
You can read my notes here: http://cubeman.org/hp.txt
You could try something like this:
scanimage -d hp:/dev/usb/scanner0 --mode color --resolution 100 -x 50 -y 50 >
test.pnm
I don't know if that would work on ubuntu 5.10 but basically
talking to the 5200C straightforward if you know the SCL
commands. I know that MS Windows users complained that
sometimes the scanner would stop responsing to messages
via USB. This would happen if the NVRAM was corrupted.
