[sane-devel] Using a network scanner...?

[Bernard T. Higonnet]

Hello,

I have a networked HP-4500 Officejet printer/scanner and I'm using 
FreeBSD 9.2.

All the documentation I've seen seems to think the connection must be 
USB. (I have seen sane-net but have been able to download only the man 
page). The printer is properly connected and CUPS can print to it for 
example.

Though consumer-level scanners such as this one are overwhelmingly USB, 
there must be lots of network scanners out there...??

TIA
