I thought 3900 series scanners would share the same chipset class too. That's 
why I called my backend "hp3900". As far as I know, Realtek chipset is not 
compatible with GLxxx_HP. At least, the way in which each chipset is 
programmed is different. Also, ScanJet 4070 uses the same chipset as ScanJet 
3970 so, i guess scanners included in 3900 series share some simmilar 
features but chipset is not one of them.

In fact, hp3900 backend was written to support ScanJet 3970. Then, other 
scanners were added.
