[sane-devel] Kodak DS 3520 on Ubuntu 10.04 w/1.0.22 backend

[Kevin MacNeil]

Yes, they probably are that old and I think they are actual Kodak
units. I believe we paid ~8k each for them. They're fairly large and
will probably do 50 ppm. Right now they're connected to a couple of
w2k boxes that I would like to decommission.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
