[sane-devel] Support for HP 7490?

[Rene Rebe]

Hello.

Your scanner might be possibly supported in a future version of the
Avision backend. At least the "ScanJet 5300C", "ScanJet 5370C" and
"scanjet 7400c" might be.

These scanners are Avision OEM scanners, using the Avision SCSI
protokol. I mainly waiting for HP to send me a test scanner (they try
to do this since the last CeBIT in 2001 ...) - because debugging
system hangs and exchanging debug values again and again (including
several days of eMail delay) isn't that funny.

Maybe some eMails to <juergen_probst@hp.com> or your countries HP
company - telling them that there is public demand for Linux support -
might help.

The hack-in-progress can be found at:
