<i>&gt; (2) The user doesn't know if they need "mustek2.rpm" "umax.rpm" for their</i><br>
<i>&gt; unbadged SCSI scanner they got free with the computer. SANE can figure</i><br>
<i>&gt; this out, but now you've prevented that from happening.</i><br>
<p>
However we should _not_ encourage the use of SANE with a "all drivers <br>
included" version of saned.conf . It might be nice for probing, but <br>
other than that it causes unnecessary overhead _and_ is known to cause <br>
hangs. I always cursed SuSe for default-installing such a "complete"<br>
saned.conf (though their configuration tool _ASKS_ for the scanner type).<br>
<p>
I usually leads to Umax (or was it microtek) type scanners making the <br>
HP backend hang forever. Setting up saned.conf correctly cures this.<br>
