Anyone fancy buying a HP USB scanner and writing the support for it? 

There is a number of HP scanners out there. I expect them to be SCSI
scanners with a USB wrapper. If this is the case than we can support
them through the Mass Storage Bulk-Only transport layer which is being
used already for the USB ZIP drives and make them look like SCSI
scanners.

Cheers,

Nick
