[sane-devel] Samsung SCX-4500W seems to work

Hello,

Using the xerox_mfp backend, scanning with the SCX-4500W MFP[1] seems to
work fine. Including scanning at 1200 dpi.

For a temporary solution I added two lines
to /etc/sane.d/xerox_mfp.conf:
> # Samsung SCX-4500W
> usb 0x04e8 0x342b

Then made /etc/hal/fdi/information/19-libsane-scx4500w.fdi with
the following content:
> <?xml version="1.0"
> encoding="UTF-8"?>                                        
> <deviceinfo version="0.2">
>   <device>
>     <!-- USB-SUBSYSTEM -->
>     <match key="info.subsystem" string="usb">
>       <match key="usb.vendor_id" int="0x04e8">
>         <!-- Samsung SCX-4500W -->
>         <match key="usb.product_id" int="0x342b">
>           <append key="info.capabilities"
> type="strlist">scanner</append>
>         </match>
>       </match>
>     </match>
>   </device>
> </deviceinfo>

I'm sure the regular SCX-4500 works just as well.
