[sane-devel] Problems with OSX and SANE using 'net' and 'HP5590' backends

[Andy Ody]

Hi again all. 

Sorry for raising the same question again, but I was hoping that given the flurry of talk about the scanjet 5590 that some out there may be able to offer help in this direction. 

I've gotten no further. 

Kind regards

I've tried this from OSX 10.6 all the way thru to 10.9.
