[Nottingham] Re: SANE:HP scanjet 5370c

[David Wolfson]

OK. This makes sense, but how do I find the bin file I want? The ones on the windows installation CD appear to be related to the windows gui, or are somewhere in cabfiles (I'm currently learning how to used cabextract & unshield). 

I guess once you've go the right one it's just a case of adding a line to the .conf file in sane.d...?

Cheers for the tip. Still hunting,

Dave

This was certainly the problem on my system: once I found the relevant file 
and copied it to where SANE wanted it, everything started working.
