I have a HP6350C scanner connected via usb to my freebsd-4.5r box. I installed gimp and xsane. The gimp plugin is there but when I access it it reports no devices found. During boot I see the HP scanner is detected on the uscanner0 device. I ran find-sane-scanner and get the scanner on uscanner0, but it reports it cannot be identified (supposedly that only works in Linux). I tried to run xsane and after the initial license screen it reports no devices available. Here is a part of my dmesg, note I am using the default kernel still - --------------- Copyright (c) 1992-2002 The FreeBSD Project.
