[sane-devel] HP5400 problem

Hi,

	This is not new, I've already posted this problem to the list. What I hate is 
silence all the time, wherever I post such message, so here I go again:

	I can't get the HP scanjet 5400c to work under linux by all means: tried to 
make work under wine with an lpt1 cable, and it didn't worked, although I've 
managed to install the windows drivers and hp precision scan under Wine.
	Tried for several times to make it work with sane, but the hp5400 backend 
doesn't seems to support this scanner, nor the development of that backend 
still exists (I think). This is what I get when I activate the debug mode:

sane-find-scanner shows:
bash-2.05b# sane-find-scanner

  # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure 
that
  # you have loaded a SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [Hewlett-Packard], product=0x1005 [HP Scanjet 
5400C Series]) at libusb:001:003
  # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported 
by
  # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

  # Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports can't 
be
  # detected by this program.

scanimage -L shows (I also have a Hauppauge pctv board):
bash-2.05b# export SANE_DEBUG_HP5400=128
bash-2.05b# scanimage -L
[sanei_debug] Setting debug level of hp5400 to 128.

Again: any ideas on how can I try to make this scanner work with Sane??

Thanks!
