How do I tell sane to use hp.conf (or my new hp4100.conf)? Do I need to put something in /etc/rc.conf, eg, or what? This is what I have the seems apropos: root@sage:/usr/local/etc/sane.d# cat hp4100.conf # ##MODELED AFTER: ma1509.conf: see sane-ma1509(5) ##hp4100.conf: # #Warm-up time for the lamp in seconds ###option warmup-time 30 # # USB-scanners supported by the hp-backend # HP ScanJet 4100C usb 0x03f0 0x0101 #Manual setting (e.g. for FreeBSD) /dev/uscanner0 My best shot; round #1. > > >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? > > It looks like all HP scanners other than the HP5400 are defined in > hp.conf, so use that one. My rational against hp.conf is the ^/dev/scanner line as well as the first SCSI line. What does "scsi HP" do? I don't use SCSI in this FBSD server. > > >I am missing /dev/uscanner0.

I built my 5.4 upgrades a week+ ago. Installed kernel and world Thursday mornng. I'm using a desktop in office for this; my ThinkPad has no USB. Anyway, some part of the scanner hardware is trashed; part(s) being replaced. When I see /dev/uscanner0, things should look lots brighter.

Would you please grep "usb" your KERNEL file? gotta be something like this why uscanner0 isn't there. thanks much, gary > > -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
