Hi, I've tried to install the beta backend for hp5400 in mandrake and slackware without any success until now. Although I can see the scanner (twice ???) with sane-find-scanner:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0, product=0x1005) at /dev/usb/scanner0 found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [hewlett-Packard], product=0x1005 [HP Scanjet 5400C Series] at libusb:004:002 When i try the scanimage -L command i still get the "No scanners were identified. I've tried to activate usbfs in /etc/fstab but it 's not working either; any ideias on how to make it work? Thanks in advance! This is the main reason I'm still "glued" to windows, since I've never managed to make this model work under linux with Sane... I think I'll have to sell this one and try to get another scanner, linux "friendly" :( Best regards, Paulo
