Not to start any wars, but another Linux distro found my scanner. I used sane, does sane have all the drivers or are the drivers dependant on the Linux operating system to recognize it before sane can install the drivers? If the latter is the case does Mepis plan on adding hp scanjet recognition?

I have that scanner and it works great under MEPIS RC1.
See:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=150599&package_id=166435&release_id=453913
and download the binary .deb package. Use KPackage to install it. (Hint: check the "Test" mode and "install" to see if "result=0". If so, uncheck "test" and install.)
