.B Scrollfed MFP support
A separate backend is planned to properly support the OfficeJet K series,
as well as other non-SCL HP MFPs, such as the OfficeJet 300/500/600/700
and T series and the LaserJet 1100A and 3200. Support for the LaserJet
3100/3150 is NOT planned, because programming information for these models
is not expected to ever become available. However, if you have a LaserJet
3150 connected to a JetDirect 70X/170X/300X/500X with firmware x.08.xx or
later, you can scan using the JetDirect's embedded web server.
