What distro are you using? I cannot think of a single distro that would include hpaio and not either epson or its replacement: epson2 allan -- "well, I stand up next to a mountain- and I chop it down with the edge of my hand" -- sane-devel mailing list: sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to sane-devel-requ...@lists.alioth.debian.org
