[sane-devel] Getting "Error from scsi_read: End of file reached" from hp6200 again

[Marshall Jose]

After doing a bit more research, I realized that the hp backend is no
longer maintained. So I went to "Plan B" and coded a retry loop in my
scanning script, which waits for the scanner to "come to its senses" after
an end-of-file error, and then resumes the scanning.

Thanks anyway,
Marshall
