dell1600n_net.c in sane-backends-1.0.18

Hi Scott,

Oops!  Well spotted: I will amend this for the next release!

By the way, do you have a Dell 1600n and if so does the
driver work ok for 
you (aside from its monstrous size!)?

cheers,
Jon

can you be assured that L_tmpnam will exist on all platforms
sane builds 
on? it would seem that PATH_MAX might be a better define to
use...

Hi,

I discovered today that a binary SANE (and CUPS) driver for
Linux is 
provided for Dell 1815dn multifunction
printer/scanner/copier.

Since it is provided by the manufacturer I presume that it
supports the 
full set of functionality but I don't have one of these
devices so I can't 
confirm for definite.

cheers,
Jon
