[sane-devel] Progress on HP ScanJet 4600?

[Scott]

Ethan,
I'll be the first to admit, I didn't have the time to check the list on
that page at the time.  It doesn't look like the scanjet will actually
be supported anytime soon unless someone can figure out how to RE it, in
which case HP sales might just go up... sorry about that, and good luck!
