My HP Scanjet 5P performs Ode to Joy

If you set the Scanjet to SCSI ID 0, then hold down the green 'scan' button on the front whilst powering on the scanner, a stepper motor test routine will activiate. The test moves the motor back and forth to create the "notes" of the song.

The scanner has this mode built in. Purportedly different models have different songs.

I use SANE to control my scanner in linux.

@wilfeatscheese If it were in the medical department on a Federation star ship, it would probably say "Damn it! I'm a scanner, not a virus!"
