|I recently acquired an HP Scanjet 4850 scanner.  The document scanning 
works with no problems.  This particular scanner has a negative/slide 
scanning component built in to the lid of the device.  This includes a 
separate lamp to illuminate the film for scanning.  The lamp in the lid 
comes when I run a hardware self test procedure but I have not 
discovered any way to have the lamp come on when scanning using sane.

Is this capability supported?
