Hello,
I have some questions again on HP2400 current development. How you
people are checking code? i mean i have also same code but neither scanimage
-L is recognising nor Xsane detects it.
then how can i check whatever features are implemented are correct or wrong?
only sane-find-scanner command is working fine but not xsane. How can i
calso check head movement?
regards,
Parag.
