-Overview
-
-This README will address issues regarding how to configure the kernel
-to access a USB HP Scanner.  The scanner should support the Scanner
-Control Language (SCL) so that applications such as SANE can access it
-properly.  Refer to the document README.hp_scanner_sane for guidance
-on how to configure SANE to use the USB HP Scanner.
-
-
-Requirements
-
-A host with a USB port.  Ideally, either a UHCI (Intel) or OHCI
-(Compaq and others) hardware port should work.  However, I've only
-been able to really use an OHCI controller.  I did have access to a
-system with a UHCI controller but some very limited testing did not
-produce satisfactory results.
-
-A Linux kernel with USB support (preferably 2.3.15+).
-
-A Linux kernel with USB HP Scanner support.
-
-
-Configuration
-
-Add both USB controller support and USB HP Scanner support using `make
-menuconfig`.  If you decide to use the ohci-hcd driver, don't forget
-to add HUB support.  Compile and install the modules.  Testing was
-performed only as modules, YMMV.
-
-Add a device for the USB scanner: `mknod /dev/usbscanner c 16 1`
-
-Set appropriate permissions for /dev/usbscanner.  Both read and write
-permissions are needed for proper operation.
-
-Load the appropriate modules:
-
-  OHCI:
-
-    modprobe usb-ohci
-    modprobe hp_scanner
-
-  OHCI-HCD:
-    modprobe usb-ohci-hcd
-    modprobe hub
-    modprobe hp_scanner
-
-That's it.  SANE should now be able to access the device.  
-
-There is a small test program (hp_scan.c) that can be used to test the
-scanner device.  It's purpose is to test the driver(s) without having
-to retrieve/configure SANE.  Hp_scan.c will scan the entire bed and
-put the output into a file called out.dat in the current directory.
-The data in the file is raw data.
