[sane-devel] HP Backend problem

[Peter Kirchgessner]

Hi Marc,

this is already in SANE-CVS. You can pick up the current state from CVS
or just the hp-backend from http://www.kirchgessner.net
This backend will not switch off the light. But it gives you a button
where you can switch it off yourself.
