[sane-devel] Repost: HP Questions

[m. allan noah]

terr- you have too many different issues in one mail, and not enough info 
to actually help you. if you want help debugging your problems with the 
hp, you will need to give info about its model number, what os or distro 
you are using, what version of sane, what changed around the time the 
scanner stopped, what debugging info you have gathered, what steps you 
have tried, etc.

if you have already sent that data in another mail, repeat it.

if you want help writing a driver for the other sanner, then that is a 
different thread.
