    Hi, Tom.
    I've just received a long message from HP which informs me that ScanJet
    4570/5500 is not supported under any version of Linux!

    Ciao,
    Nino

    Dear Nino,

    Thank you for contacting HP Total Care.

    Please note that HP Scanjet scanners are not supported under any version
    of Linux operating system and hence there are no drivers currently
    available for the same. Your scanner can be installed only under
    Windows Operating System.

    However, you may visit the Web site given below to have more information
    about Linux support for HP scanners.

    http://www.hp.com/cposupport/scanners/support_doc/bps05180.html

    The hp scanjet 5500 series scanner supports the following Operating
    Systems.
     
    Windows 98/98SE
    Windows Millennium
    Windows 2000 Professional (requires Service Pack2 or higher)
    Windows XP (Home and Professional

    Some HP scanners are supported using HP Backened for SANE and SCL
    commands in Linux. The HP Backened is present in SANE. Usually all HP
    scanners with a SCSI-interface support SCL. Some scanners with parallel
    port interface or USB are using SCL too. But most of the newer models
    with USB do not support SCL and thus are not supported by the hp
    backend. For more information about the supported scanners, please
    visit:

    http://www.kirchgessner.net/sanehpfaq.html

    Download the latest SANE 1.0.8 drivers for the scanners from:

    http://panda.mostang.com/sane/source.html

    For HP scanners and there SCL commands, please visit:

    Thank you for taking time and writing to us. We assure of our
    commitment to serve you better.
