I have to restart hpiod and hpssd by hand after I plug it in, but then it basically works. There's some edge cases that don't work so well (scanning legal sized documents requires I enter 2 for the number of pages to scan, and then feed them through one document at a time... But other than that, this is a fast little box. Don't know if the Scanjet 4400 is supported by hplip or not (looks like not), but since I posted the message you are replying to, I got it working (on amd64 no less) and have scanned about 2000 pages of old paperwork that I'm tossing out (via the shred-o-matic, even though most of the data in it is too old to be useful to anybody). : I made notes & will download & try later: : -------- : Web search: : >From http://www.neoseeker.com/Hardware/Products/4400c/ : The HP ScanJet 4400C has a flatbed design. It has a optical resolution : of 1200x1200 dpi. It can scan a color document in about 40 seconds : and a B&W document in about 35 seconds. It supports both parallel : and usb connection. This scanner is PC/Mac compatible. It also : includes 5 configurable buttons. : Release Date: Q4 2001 : http://www.itweek.co.uk/computeractive/hardware/2012918/hp-scanjet-4400c : Review: $90 : http://www.buzzard.me.uk/jonathan/scanners-usb.html : ScanJet 4400C, 4470C These scanners uses a RealTek : RTS8891 chip to drive the scanner. Requests for information : on this chip to RealTek have gone unanswered. There is some : very preliminary software for these based on reverse : engineering the Windows driver. More information on this : can be can be found at SourceForge here. : http://reapoff.sourceforge.net/hpscanner/Default.htm : michael.cohen@netspeed.com.au has got it working in grey scale etc : http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/showproduct.php?product=108&cat=all : I have spoken to HP about this. The scanner uses a parallel : port but has a USB to parallel converter in it. : http://projects.troy.rollo.name/rt-scanners/chip.html : There is a demo SANE backend for the HP ScanJet 4400C and : 4470C at http://hp44x0backend.sourceforge.net that can do : greyscale scanning at 300 / 600 DPI. : http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=hew&model=4400&bus=any : grayscale 300DPI only : http://hp44x0backend.sourceforge.net/ : HP4400C UNTESTED ALPHA : http://sourceforge.net/projects/hp44x0backend/ : hp_rts88xx Scanjet HP4470c family SANE backend (hp_rts88xx). : http://home.foni.net/~johanneshub/testtool.html : http://www.oreillynet.com/cs/user/view/cs_msg/23440 : i have too an hp 4400 c : seems to be in fact a UMAX one with USB converter inside.:1 >From the sounds of things, it looks like your problems and mine are very different.
