Howdy, Just picked up one of these scanners today, and I've been futzing around with this thing for the last couple of hours with very little luck. Here's some of the details... Sane can tell there's a scanner there, but it can't tell which one. sane-find-scanner: found USB scanner (UNKNOWN vendor and product) at device /dev/uscanner0 And the verbose output from sane-find-scanner sane-find-scanner: checking /dev/uscanner0... open ok, but vendor and product could NOT be identified sane-find-scanner: found USB scanner (UNKNOWN vendor and product) at device /dev/uscanner0 FreeBSD is getting it right on the boot... from dmesg: uscanner0: Hewlett-Packard HP ScanJet 6300C, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 2 All the USB stuff appears to be up and running. Read over Warren Block's tutorial he posted, and I believe I've tweaked the recommended config files. In my case... ## [/usr/local/etc/sane.d] cat hp.conf usb /dev/uscanner0 I actually tried a number of different things in this file, but it doesn't seem to be relevant until the scanner can be identified. Maybe it is and it's just tweaked wrong. The man page for sane-hp mostly stressed on them fancy OfficeJets. And lastly, my FreeBSD uname... 4.6-STABLE FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE #0: Sat Aug 31 03:01:09 PDT 2002 I've gotten SCSI scanners to play nice on FreeBSD in the past. It's been a while though. I'm either missing some silly little tweak, or this scanner just doesn't play via USB. I've seen a LOT of references stating that it does, thus the reason for purchasing this particular scanner. Need to figure out which it is before I can't take it back! :) Thanks, -- "Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend.
