Didn't send an attachment.
Here's the scenario:
Computer in question is runnong -CURRENT and already has CUPS
installed for the (parallel attached) LaserJet 6mp.
I now have access to a PSC 7xx, which I would like to use 0<x<1
% for color printing and the rest for scanning. As far as i can
tell sane by itself does not have the ability to do this, but it
concert with HPLIP it does.
First question: is this correct? Not just connect to the PSC,
but use both devices at once> If not, then I just abort the whole
plan.
After seeing the post-installation message for HPLIP, I wat to
understand what I'm doing before messing with devfs. (Revuilding
the kernel is no biggie, though I don't think that'll be necessary.)
And, frankly, configuring CUPS is usually as pleasant as aggrssive
dysentery.
