I have written to HP...<br>
<br>
Hi. HP have been kind to the Linux community in the past. I am wondering
if I could get in contact with a technical person to find out about the possibility
of the Linux community developing drivers for this scanner. We need basic
information like the scanners chipset.<br>
<br>
Thanks very much.<br>

       Well I guess we could all have a try at getting some info from HP?
Maybe it would then be easy to develop the drivers?<br>

    <pre wrap="">I have been at it with HP for months trying to get
information about my 4400c which I believe to be
similar to the 4470.  The best that I got was some
Tech who had no idea what I was talking about, and had
no knowledge of how to escalate the question to
someone who did.

Thanks,

 Unfortunately.

It scans really well in windows.  I have the
slide/film adapter too, which is 
pretty nifty.
