[sane-devel] Which HP-AIO Devices are supported by SANE

Fri Feb 6 14:08:38 UTC 2009

There are three ways to do this:

1. Run the configure command as I gave it to you, but without the
quotes, continue with make, make install.

2. Simon's approach, just use the rpms. Download the rpm you want to
install and try it. when it complains about a missing dependency,
download that too, and try to install both of the them with one
command. Continue this process until it installs, by which time you
will be running Fedora 9 :)

3. The distro's approach, just reinstall the entire OS with something
that contains the packages you want. Fedora 8 is pretty old at this
point, and Fedora 10 is pretty good, and contains sane 1.0.19, and the
hpaio drivers already installed.

At this point, after watching you struggle for days to cut and paste
the most basic commands into a terminal correctly, I would STRONGLY
suggest #3.
