    Hi,

    On Thu, 15 Feb 2001, you wrote a message with subject "HP5300C -

    Also spent about a day 2 weeks ago on a HP5300 with roughly the same
    problems: recognized, but would work. I wrote HP but they said they
    didn't support Linux !

    To quote the response from HP :

    "We are sorry to inform you but, the 5300c series scanner is not
    supported in an Linux operating environment. At this time we have no
    scanner that is supported in a Linux environment. Provided below are the
    system requirements for your 5300c series scanner."

    Then I persuaded the reseller to take the 5300 back and change it for
    an Epson 1240. This one worked out of the box : I spent about 10 minutes
    from unpacking the thing to scanning my first image ;-)
