driver do this on windows?
Not everyone uses xsane- what about scanimage or gscan2pdf. They would
also have to implement this flipping code. Hence, this is a prob
Thanks, Allan. I talked with HP tech support about this too and the
answer I got was, "they all do that" and, if you want that kind of
scanning (where all the pages come out right-side-up), you have to get a
