Hello everybody


I have a HP Scanjet 2100 USB scanner. Can this scanner be operated under Gentoo Linux? I`m using the udev pseudo filesystem. Any suggestions?

thx, in advance

According to http://www.sane-project.org/lists/sane-mfgs-cvs.html#Z-HEWLETT-PACKARD this scanner should work well in linux using the plustek backend.
