Hi Phillipp,

I have just added a msall list of FAQs about HP scanners to my homepage.
Maybe you can find an answer to your question.
I suppose the HP ScanJet IIcx is a SCSI scanner. So the little
controller card
is a SCSI card. But you need a SCSI driver for it. And this one comes
(hopefully)
with Linux. SANE does not include SCSI drivers.

Sincerely

Peter
