[sane-devel] Ricoh with Airprint

[Thierry Huchard]

Hi Steve,

I repackaged the package "sp-330-3710-series-scanner-1.00-amd64.deb" 
(https://www.grosfichiers.com/7Vg3TavXv8g) to make it compatible with 
recent Ubuntu.
I forgot to send it back to everyone!
The package installs and uninstalls cleanly. The file is placed in the 
right places and the libs links are Ok.
You have to test it!

Thierry
