First, the handbook doesn't cover installing scanners/sane, second the
sane web site docs
are linux-centric and don't help with this problem.
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 -

So, any suggestions of how to get my HP scanner to work with sane and
gimp?
