Comment 48 for bug 83587

Using my hp4215 I did:
scanimage -v > hp4215.pnm
scanimage: scanning image of size 638x1125 pixels at 24 bits/pixel
scanimage: acquiring RGB frame
scanimage: min/max graylevel value = 0/255
scanimage: read 2153250 bytes in total
and then I get the image... everything works. Does this mean most of my
configuration files are good?

But if I use hp5300C I get:
scanimage -v -x 10 -y 10 > hp5300C.pnm
scanimage: scanning image of size 56x59 pixels at 24 bits/pixel
scanimage: acquiring RGB frame
scanimage: received signal 2
scanimage: trying to stop scanner
scanimage: min/max graylevel value = 0/255
scanimage: sane_read: Operation was cancelled

I made a shorter the scan to make sure the HW was not getting stuck for
some mechanical problem.
I stopped the scan with ctrl-C

Is there a configuration file that only impacts the hp5300C?

What is supposed to be the size of this file? How do I get the
replacement?
