                How to setup a scanner with xsane
                1. $ xsane
                ..should work  out of the box 
                ----------
                How to setup a scanner with scanimage/xscanimage
                ***I have never setup a standalone scanner***
                1. $ sudo mkdir /etc/sane.d
                2. copy the conf file closest to your scanner from
                ../opt/sane/etc/sane.d_conf to /etc/sane.d
                ..and dll.conf after editing(?)
                3. $ scanimage -L [should discover the scanner]
                4. modify /etc/sane.d/xxx.conf to suit
                ----------
                How-to setup the scanner part of an hp all-in-one
                1. hplip should find the scanner on its own
                ..but if it doesnt
                ..$ hp-info [should show the scanner uri]
                ..$ scanimage -L [should discover the scanner]
                2. to test the scanner:
                ..$ hp-scan -n -r75 --size=a4
                ..$ scanimage --format tiff > test.tiff
                ..$ hp-scan -n --editor=gimp [to scan into mydsl gimp extension]
                ----------
                How-to do other scanner stuff
                1. to scan from the mydsl gimp extension:
                ..$ sudo ln -s /opt/sane/bin/xscanimage /home/dsl/.gimp-1.2/plug-ins
                ..$ sudo ln -s /opt/sane/bin/xsane /home/dsl/.gimp-1.2/plug-ins
                ..navigate to file/acquire/xscanimage/device dialog in gimp-1.2
                ..or navigate to file/acquire/xsane:device dialog in gimp-1.2
                2. for a dsl machine to act as a scanner server, the following files need to be modified
                ../etc/inetd.conf
                ..add  sane-port stream tcp nowait root /opt/sane/sbin/saned saned 
                ../etc/services
                ..add  sane-port	6566/tcp			# SANE network scanner daemon 
                ../etc/sane.d/saned.conf
                ..add ip address(es) of scanner clients
                3. for a dsl machine to act as a scanner client, the following files need to be modified
                ../etc/sane.d/net
                ..add ip address of scanner server
                4. for a w2k or winxp machine to act as a client to a dsl scanner server, you need the
                ..sanetwain and/or xsane software.
                ----------
                In order for the scanner to persist after rebooting,
                add the following to your backup:
                /etc/sane.d/dll.conf (only if you changed it)
                /etc/sane.d/net.conf [if you have a networked scanner client]
                /etc/sane.d/saned.conf [if you have a networked scanner server]
                /etc/inetd.conf [if you have a networked scanner server]
                /etc/services [if you have a networked scanner server]
                ----------
                scan from command line & from within gimp-1.2 mydsl extensions tested OK with hplip-2.8.2
                scan over local network from dsl, w2k & winxp tested OK
Change-log:     first version 2008/04/01
                added xsane-0.995
                2008/04/06
                added menu item/icon
                added gimp libs so xsane will run without gimp
