Hi, Henning. Sounds good to me. Here's what I changed that line to, and
it's still one line in case it wraps on your display:
+ [ --with-ptal=DIR specify the top-level PTAL directory,
default=/usr/local])

Currently, PTAL and its associated low-level kernel drivers support
peripherals attached to the parallel port of the computer, or to a LAN
using an HP JetDirect external print server. In the future I plan to add
USB support as well. All of this is transparent to SANE, however. So
just saying "Parport" would be a little inaccurate. For now I could say
"Parport(ECP) and JetDirect 70X/170X/300X/500X", and later when I add USB
support to PTAL I could come back and update hp.desc, but that's getting
rather long. What would you suggest to do about this? (I don't want to
merge PTAL and all the other external I/O code into SANE, because it is
used for other things besides scanning.)

Got it. Is this OK?:
:model "HP OfficeJet K series"
:interface "PTAL"
:comment "partial support -- requires extra steps to scan successfully"
