Using an HP 3300C scanner with a Mac

I keep forgetting the magical mojo I need to make scanning with an HP 3300C work on my Macbook Pro, so herein are the notes for future posterity.

From TWAIN SANE Interface for MacOSX, download then install:

  • libusb
  • sane-backends
  • TWAIN-SANE-Interface
  • SANE-Preference-Pane

Then, fire up GIMP, and in the menus go:

  • File -> Acquire -> TWAIN -> SANE

Bingo!
