So, answering your own question. Yes, there's a known bug in SANE 1.00<br>
|
||
where the HP backend doesn't work with "scsi HP" in the config file.<br>
|
||
It seems like ancient history to those of us who've been subscribed to<br>
|
||
this list for a while, but every new user with a HP scanner goes <br>
|
||
through the following process<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
(1) Download SANE 1.00 (it's the stable, tested release, right?)<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
(2) Try to use it<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
(3) Doesn't work, complain to sane-devel mailing list<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
(4) Get told to remove "scsi HP" from the config file<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
(5) Now it works, happiness results<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
It doesn't matter that the bug was FIXED a week after 1.00, or an hour<br>
|
||
or a second after. Users will run 1.00 because that's the stable version<br>
|
||
from the site, even if you tell them it's a bug ridden pile of rubbish<br>
|
||
(which it isn't) they'll still run 1.00 rather than 1.01pre-alpha-b0.1<br>
|
||
because it *looks* like the stable version.<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Even when 1.01 goes out the door (months late IMHO) there'll still be<br>
|
||
6--12 months of the same old story, because users got 1.00 in their<br>
|
||
copy of Red Hat, Caldera or whatever, and haven't updated. It's the<br>
|
||
price you pay for the "Brown Paper Bag" mistake in v1.00<br>
