Comment 55 for bug 83587

Miguel, Patricio, and bhmb....

I want to thank you all in public for your persistence in pursuing a solution to this vexing problem. Following through on your suggestions I finally got my HP 5300c working again in Ubuntu. I used to use Kooka under KDE under a different Linux distribution and am sad to see it is no longer supported nor included in KDE. That said, XSane will do what I need to do so am grateful.

On a final note, after I downgraded libsane to get the scanner working, I kept getting a notice that an update of that package was available. Since I don't want to upgrade that package for the time being, I would like to know how to turn off the notification. I found ways to put the package on hold here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=137100 but I am still getting the notification. Does anyone know how to tell the updater to ignore this package?

Thanks again in advance,
