Me, personally, I'd love to be able to do that. I've talked with my managers and no go. As a previous poster mentioned, our business types consider our own protocol a "strategic advantage". I've been given permission to help SANE but I must have anything I do reviewed by management first. > This precedent and pressure from HP/Canon etc might then be used to get > other scanner OEMs to do similar and or employ developers to work on the > SANE project, adding drivers before their scanners are released. We're a very tiny part of the market. We don't have any products labeled as our own. We co-develop low cost mono laser MFPs with HP. The HP LaserJet M1005 (vid=0x3b17) and M1120 (vid=0x5617 and vid=0x5717) are ours. There's another one (vid=0x5817) but I can't remember the official product name (ADF + Fax). -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
