Please let me know! > The file /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs contains a list of all the recognised usb devices, including scanners. I don't know if this means they all actually work (I presume they do) but it does mean they will be recognised. I have an Epson Perfection 640U which works fine. The key is support by a sane back-end (sane being the scanner software). Epsons are a good choice because I believe all but a few models talk the same language. In fact until a week or so ago my scanner was not in the list, but seeing other Epsons in there I just put in a definition for it and it worked, submitted a PR and low and behold it is now in -stable. -- Regards Cliff Sarginson -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
