Hi,
Thanks for the useful information. It will be interesting to report
what sane-find-scanner from SANE 1.0.21 reports then. The 4800/4850 is
not in the list either supported or unsupported. The 4700 appears to
be a Genesys device (GL646/660) so perhaps these two are as well. If
you have both these devices any chance of posting the results for them
both?
