Scanner support in FreeBSD is by SANE, same as in Linux. The problem is that SANE only supports some scanners and I don't see any reference to the HP 4400. See http://www.mostang.com/sane/ for details. xsane, sane-frontends, and sane-backends are all in usr/ports/graphics. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
