[sane-devel] hints on getting hp G2410 scanner working with sane

[Michael Fothergill]

Dear Folks,



I bought an HP G2410
scanner.   I haven't tried to install it yet.  I run Debian Lenny
AMD64.  




The info in the sane
backends file is as follows:



Backend: genesys
(1.0-8) 

Manufacturer: ScanJet
G2410 

Interface: USB
USB id 0x03f0/0x0a01  

Status Untested



It seems as though this
scanner isn't as well supported as other hp machines under Linux. 
But there is a proprietary scanner that apparently works on it:

and

plus more discussions
here:

Is enough to install
sane and xsane ie



aptitude install sane



aptitude install xsane 




or  do I need to
install more packages to get all the library files?



If I use the
proprietary HP2400 driver do I still need to put the extra line in
the .conf directory?  It doesn't look it in these write ups.....



Comments appreciated.
