"Geoffrey T. Dairiki" <dairiki@apl.washington.edu> made an expanded HP
backend with much more of the SCL backend implemented for various HP
scanners. I had been hoping to expand on his work, and even got the
documentation from HP, but my other GNU projects started taking up
what little spare time I have.

In his last post to this newsgroup, the patch is at:

ftp://irving.apl.washington.edu/pub/sane/sane-0.68-newhp.patch.README
ftp://irving.apl.washington.edu/pub/sane/sane-0.68-newhp.patch.gz

and is for sane-0.68

The patch works well, but his changes need to be merged into the HP
backend proper. If the links above don't work, I still have the
patch.
