: Dont know if this might help your 4215, but seems there's progress
: on my 4400,
It turns out that the 4215 actually mostly works. I have to restart
hpiod and hpssd by hand after I plug it in, but then it basically
works. There's some edge cases that don't work so well (scanning
legal sized documents requires I enter 2 for the number of pages to
scan, and then feed them through one document at a time... But other
than that, this is a fast little box.
Don't know if the Scanjet 4400 is supported by hplip or not (looks
like not), but since I posted the message you are replying to, I got
it working (on amd64 no less) and have scanned about 2000 pages of old
paperwork that I'm tossing out (via the shred-o-matic, even though
most of the data in it is too old to be useful to anybody).

: 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
