        I'll try that.... I actually wrote some code to print out all
the options which we get from sane_get_option_descriptor(). It only
showed 3 options, 1)preview, 2)resolution and 3)mode (grey, color etc.). Is this
bad news ?

        a small correction, its HP 5195C USB. Scanning from normal source seems
to be well supported. Its only the ADF support which needs to be tested. btw, does
anyone else have any experience with this scanner ?
