Allan, I see what you mean. My suggestion--for us end-user guys who are not programmers--would be to add the words Deskjet series, Photosmart series, and Laserjet series to the HP listings ordered by printer type (http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html). Then leave all the fields blank except the comment.
Link to the downloads page -- hplipopensource.com -- This has all the user info, the download, and FAQ stuff. It's user-friendly. The notes under HPAIO link to the sourceforge page, and it's quite confusing to me. I'm just trying to help the next person who comes along. I got the help I needed and I want to make it easier for the next person. I hope this makes sense. m. allan noah wrote: > we have such a link: > > http://www.sane-project.org/lists/sane-backends-external.html#S-HPAIO > > If the hplip guys would make a .desc file for their backend, we would > put it in our site, and it would show up in the search engine.
