Hi, Henning. If possible I would like to get in my changes to support
<BR>
SCL-based HP OfficeJets. It's a package at <A HREF="http://hpoj.sourceforge.net">http://hpoj.sourceforge.net</A>,
<BR>
consisting of some external I/O drivers and libraries, and a patch to SANE
<BR>
(mostly the HP backend) to make use of the external library when available.
<BR>
Peter Kirchgessner has already committed most of my changes to the HP backend
<BR>
into CVS. Still to commit are the changes to the configure script (Petter
<BR>
suggested a better way to do it), config.h.in, hp.desc, and sane-hp.man.
<BR>
I am reading up on autoconf at the moment to make sure I do it right this
<BR>
time.
<BR>
<P>What is the currently planned timeframe for preparing for 1.0.4?
<BR>
<P>David

<EM>&gt; Concerning backends that are not yet included into the SANE
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; distribution:
</EM><BR>
<P><EM>&gt; If you are a maintainer of such a backend and want to include it in
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; SANE 1.0.4 please speak up *now*! This will give us some time to check
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; the source code, look for problems and test compilation. The backend
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; should
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; * follow the SANE standard (see sane.ps)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; * follow the hints in the GUIDE
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; * not harm the other backends (e.g. not hang if the supported device
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; is not present)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; * be portable (I can test compilation on Irix, AIX and Solaris)
</EM><BR>
<P><EM>&gt; It's not necessary to support &quot;your&quot; device perfectly. That's why we
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; use &quot;ALPHA&quot;, &quot;BETA&quot; or &quot;STABLE&quot; entries in backend.desc. Your code
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; should do something (e.g. scanning in one resolution).
</EM><BR>
<P><EM>&gt; In my experience it will be much easier to update the backend if it's
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; in the CVS. Further more you probably will get more feedback if it's
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; in the SANE distribution.
</EM><BR>
<P><EM>&gt; If you don't want to include your backend now, please at least
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; consider giving some information (e.g. supported devices, status,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; website, author) that can be added to the website (by backend.desc
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; files) and to the PROJECTS file.
