[sane-devel] HP4470c

Tue May 7 15:10:08 BST 2002

This is a form letter that they send out for all Linux
enquirees.  I recieved a reply in the exact same
format, and contacted HP tech support.  They were no
help whatsoever.

However, I have placed a call once again to try to
start a dialog.

Thanks,
Benjamin Pierce

I got this from HP after querying them about the
HP4470c... 
 
So can someone in the US contact US technical support.
I doubt New Zealand
support will be much help. If no-one can do that, I
can try from NZ. 
 
TIA. :-)

Linux community in 
the past. I am wondering if I could get in contact
with a technical

developing drivers for this scanner. We need basic

Thanks very much.
