I have two hp files in sane.d, both sseem oriented toward Linux. There is an entry for the 4100c in "hp.conf", but it wants to create /dev/scanner. root@tao:/usr/local/etc/sane.d# ll hp* -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 497 Dec 22 16:40 hp.conf -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 238 Oct 9 23:09 hp5400.conf >From "hp.conf":: root@tao:/usr/local/etc/sane.d# more hp.conf scsi HP # Uncomment the following if you have "Error during device I/O" on SCSI # option dumb-read # # The usual place for a SCSI-scanner on Linux /dev/scanner # # USB-scanners supported by the hp-backend # HP ScanJet 4100C usb 0x03f0 0x0101 . . . Would it make sense to create an "hp4100.conf" with your epson line "usb /dev/uscanner0" as a first line? > I am missing /dev/uscanner0. How is this /dev created? q2 16:27 <tao> [5015] kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 11 0xc0400000 5e7530 kernel 2 14 0xc09e8000 537f0 acpi.ko 3 1 0xc1aaf000 2000 blank_saver.ko 4 1 0xc1ad1000 17000 linux.ko 5 1 0xc2352000 3000 uscanner.ko Does this output look right? This may be right the scanner wasn't seen. I figured that by kldloading uscanner.ko, /dev/uscanner0 would be auto-created. I need some other magic. -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
