[sane-devel] [ANNOUNCE] New SANE backend 'hp5590' for HP ScanJet%0A%095550/5590/7650

[Frank]

I have downloaded  
alioth.debian.org/frs/download.php/1669/sane-backends-1.0.18.tar.gz, not  
being sure it is the backends cvs.
However, having followed the installation procedure, it does not recognize  
the hp5590 (no SANE devices found).
There is no trace of backend dedicated to the 5590, either in the gunzip  
produced 'sane-backends-1.0.18' directory or in the /usr/lib/sane.
the /sane-backends-1.0.18/tools/edve/libsane.rules do mention the hp5590  
as usb device, so it maybe means that it is embedded in something else, so  
that one should not expect a specific backend file ?
Maybe the solution lies in this note :
# To run a script when your device is plugged in, add RUN="/path/to/script"
# to the appropriate rule.
but I would not know how to use it or if a script could be used do make  
the rule active.
In case, I added 'usb 0x03f0 0x1705' in /etc/sane/d/hp.conf, with no  
effect.
Yet, the scanner appears in lsubs as 'Bus 003 Device 003: ID 03f0:1705  
Hewlett-Packard'
and sane-find-scanner gives 'found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0  
[Hewlett-Packard], product=0x1705 [hp scanjet scanner]) at libusb:003:003'.

It is not a matter of permission, scanimage -L gives no result under root  
either, even after 'chmod a+rw /proc/bus/usb/003/003'.
I have suppressed a prior version of sane and reinstalled, with no success.
Any clue ?
Thanks
