-INTRODUCTION
-
-This document will hopefully provide enough info on how to get SANE
-working with a Hewlett Packard USB capable scanner using the USB
-interface.  The majority of HP Scanners support the Scanner Control
-Language (SCL) which is both published by HP and supported by SANE.
-The only HP Scanner that I'm aware of that does not support SCL is the
-4200C.  All other HP scanners with USB interfaces should work (4100C,
-5200C, 6200C, and 6300C).  Of course as HP releases new scanners this
-information may change.
-
-
-REQUIREMENTS
-
-In order to get this running you'll need USB support in your kernel in
-addition to USB Scanner support.  Please refer to README.scanner
-for issues pertaining to Linux USB and USB Scanner support.
-
-An installed version of SANE which is available from
-http://www.mostang.com/sane/.  Testing has been performed using
-version SANE-1.0.1.  For instructions on building and installing SANE,
-refer to the various README files within the SANE distribution.
-
-
-OK, I'VE INSTALLED SANE. SO WHAT DO I DO NOW?
-
-NOTE: $INSTALL_DIR is the location where SANE was installed.  It may
-be /usr/local, /usr, /opt or somewhere else.  If you don't know, ask
-your system administrator.
-
-1) Make sure that you have the libsane-hp.* libraries under the
-$INSTALL_DIR/lib/sane/ directory.  If you don't, then the HP backend
-was either not compiled or installed properly.
-
-2) Under the directory $INSTALL_DIR/etc/sane.d/ edit the following
-files: dll.conf, hp.conf.
-
-  dll.conf:  Make sure that the 'hp' entry is present and uncommented.
-
-  hp.conf: This should contain two lines:
-
-    /dev/usbscanner
-    option connect-device
-
-3) You should now be able to use SANE (xscanimage or scanimage).
-
-Don't forget to read any relevant man pages regarding the usage of
-SANE.  If you have other entries uncommented in dll.conf, you may have
-to specify the device to (x)scanimage.  Again, `man` is your friend.
-The xscanimage (1) man page has info on how to get 'The Gimp' to work
-with xscanimage.  Note that Gimp support must be compiled into SANE
-for it work.  If you are dealing with a RedHat system, this means that
-you'll also need to install the gimp-devel rpm package.
-
-NOTE: The issues regarding core dumping by (x)scanimage have (or seem
-to be thus far) been resolved with version 0.2+ of the USB scanner
-driver which should be available in linux-2.3.23.  If you notice
-otherwise, please contact me.
