Huh?  When I've placed something on my HP, my hands are on the scanner and
the green button is extremely convenient.  Mousing around in a set of cascading
menus is relatively time-consuming.  It would be even *more* convenient if
hpsjbmgr supported DeskScan.  It almost does already!  If you start it, it
pops up a window with available software to select when the button is pressed.
Unfortunately, the only software it seems to know about is HP PictureScan.
Has anybody figured out how to get it to recognize DeskScan as well?
