[sane-devel] Help With HP ScanJet 3C - Getting Started

[Peter Kirchgessner]

Hi Chris,

did you have a look at http://www.kirchgessner.net/sanehpfaq.html ? 
There are some hints for use of HP-scanners.
Unfortunately your Symbios Logic SCSI card seems to be not easy to 
operate. You can browse through the sane-devel mailing list for 
additional hints. But several people gave up using this card.
