[sane-devel] Fwd: [Question #229575]: Simplescan problem with HP6200c Scanjet (HELP!)

[m. allan noah]

has this scanner ever worked properly for you? what has changed since
then? These machines have a notoriously flaky USB implementation, and
are very picky about timing and such. Mine was much better using its
SCSI connection.
