Can somebody confirm ?
According to the hp_rts8xx web site: "HP35x00c scanners (RTS8801 chipset): this is today a development version and doesn't work today". > I'm shipping hp_rts88xx as part of libsane-extras in Debian, and > obviously I can't have 2 backends supporting the same hardware, so > there's a choice to be made :) As the hp3500 backend was written to support the HP 3500 scanners (which is reported to work well) I'd disable the USB ids for those scanners in hp_rts88xx.
