Hi dear all,

	I began to gather information in order to write a backend for the HP Scanjet 
2400 scanner. I contacted the concerned people over the mailing list and I 
joined their effort.

	I just wanted to have a piece of advise about reverse engineering. 

	Particularly, how can I extract actions (I mean commands) from usbsniffs 
performed under win32 ?

	I gave a try to the 'usb-robot' utilities, but the configure step broke 
anormally (can't find libusb headers while libsub is totally functionnal on 
my system). Did anyone manage to have interesting results with this app ?

	At last, does anyone know a tip to get a scanner's chipset's manufacturor 
id ?

	Thank you very much, julien
