        The HP ScanJet 4400C has a flatbed design. It has a optical resolution
        of 1200x1200 dpi. It can scan a color document in about 40 seconds
        and a B&W document in about 35 seconds. It supports both parallel
        and usb connection. This scanner is PC/Mac compatible. It also
        includes 5 configurable buttons.
        Release Date:   Q4 2001

        ScanJet 4400C, 4470C            These scanners uses a RealTek
        RTS8891 chip to drive the scanner. Requests for information
        on this chip to RealTek have gone unanswered. There is some
        very preliminary software for these based on reverse
        engineering the Windows driver. More information on this
        can be can be found at SourceForge here.

        I have spoken to HP about this. The scanner uses a parallel
        port but has a USB to parallel converter in it.

        There is a demo SANE backend for the HP ScanJet 4400C and
        4470C at http://hp44x0backend.sourceforge.net that can do
        greyscale scanning at 300 / 600 DPI.
