Ah, that is a different problem. I thought your question was how to use a (supported) scanner via network with SANE. To find out if your scanner is supported at all (there are a few HP backends) I'm afarid you will have to connect it to a (FreeBSD) machine via usb and run sane-find-scanner as root. If it isn't supported by SANE, there is always HPLIP (http://www.freshports.org/print/hplip/) as already mentioned in this thread. HTH -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen
