[sane-devel] HP ADF Support for chipset RT58822

[Valentine Christian]

I have a couple of HP 8250 ADF scanners.  Work nice, but when they get
messed up, I have to plug them into a Win box.  Then I can use them again.
So some initialization and error detection SW is probably missing.  Also,
things like the duplex page feed doesn't work.

I believe the avision driver is not getting any more development at this
time.

If you can tell me how to determine the architecture, without pulling them
apart, I can do that.
