[sane-devel] Polling HP Scanjet 7400c buttons?

[m. allan noah]

not an 'API' exactly, but more of a 'convention'. there are a couple of 
button daemons floating around (one is in the experimental cvs tree) which 
attempt to read the value of certain named options provided by the 
backend.

so, you would have to make sure your scanner's backend exposes the 
buttons, and then you would have to (likely) make some mods to a buttond 
to do something when a button is pressed.

write to the LCD? can the windows software do that?
