[sane-devel] HP Scanjet 5300c

[Rene Rebe]

Hi.

The hp5300 should work for a year now ...

Could you:
a) make sure you have the last SANE/Avision release (for URL see below)
b) update to kernel 2.4.20 ?

The avision.conf should be plain vanilla - untouched. All enable* or
disable* options should NOT be present, or commented out. THEY ARE FOR
DEBUG PURPOSES ONLY!

The web locations:

  - SANE/Avision homepage:
    http://drocklinux.dyndns.org/rene/avision/

  - Sourcecode:
    http://www.rocklinux.org/people/rene/sane/src/

  - Patches:

  - Incremental patches:

  - Precompiled binary:

  - Possible mirror sites:
