Okay, the actual build was a bit more involved that you may have thought, but I got there eventually:
wget http://incoming.debian.org/sane-backends_1.0.19~cvs20070505-1.diff.gz wget http://incoming.debian.org/sane-backends_1.0.19~cvs20070505-1.dsc wget http://incoming.debian.org/sane-backends_1.0.19~cvs20070505.orig.tar.gz apt-get build-dep libsane dpkg-source -x sane-backends_1.0.19~cvs20070505-1.dsc cd sane-backends-1.0.19~cvs20070505 apt-get install texlive texlive-latex-extra apt-get install libieee1284-3-dev dpkg-buildpackage -d -rfakeroot cd .. dpkg -i libsane_1.0.19~cvs20070505-1_i386.deb # The device showed up and I got the commands for it scanimage -L scanimage -h -d hp5590:libusb:001:003 # And ran a bunch of tests, all of which worked except the 150dpi was # not acceptable # scanimage -d hp5590:libusb:001:003 --mode Color --resolution 150 > tst.pnm scanimage -d hp5590:libusb:001:003 > tst2.pnm scanimage -d hp5590:libusb:001:003 --resolution 200 > tst2.pnm scanimage -d hp5590:libusb:001:003 --resolution 150 > tst3.pnm scanimage -d hp5590:libusb:001:003 --mode Color --resolution 200 > tst4-color200dpm.pnm scanimage -d hp5590:libusb:001:003 --source ADF --mode Color --resolution 200 > tst5-ADFcolor200dpm.pnm I note that it really does not like the 150dpi which I have been more or less standardized on for my scanning for the last decade. I'll have to go to 200dpi. Is there any reason it gives garbage output on 150? Thanks for getting back to me. I'll start modifying my own code to support this device tomorrow morning. Cheers, Dale
