sane-hp5590 - SANE backend for Hewlett-Packard 4500C/4570C/5500C/5550C/5590/7650 Workgroup/Document scanners

2. DESCRIPTION

The

sane-hp5590 library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to the following Hewlett-Packard Workgroup/Document scanners:

ScanJet 4500C
ScanJet 4570C
ScanJet 5500C
ScanJet 5550C
ScanJet 5590
ScanJet 7650

If you own a scanner other than the ones listed above that works with this backend, please let us know this by sending the scanner's exact model name and the USB vendor and device ids (e.g. from /proc/bus/usb/devices , sane-find-scanneror syslog) to us. Even if the scanner's name is only slightly different from the models mentioned above, please let us know.
