I installed the SANE back-end and it cannot find any > scanners. So I take it the above means that sane-find-scanner returns no information on your scanner, and scanimage -L will also fail? (BTW: you may need some sort of frontend AKA GUI; something like the Sane Project's frontend, or XSane's frontend). I just checked /usr/local/etc/sane.d/ and there seems to be no backend for this scanner, IFF the backend for this model of 3400 is sane-niash[1]. In dll.conf, there is a line for niash; I suggest trying to put this after the "niash" in the dll.conf file: :/dev/uscanner0 so that you have this line: niash::/dev/uscanner0 then reboot, to see if it works. You can read about it in the man page for dll.conf, sane-dll. I think this might work, as there is an entry in /usr/local/lib/sane/: ~ $: grep -i niash /usr/local/lib/sane/* Binary file /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-niash.so matches Binary file /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-niash.so.1 matches But I dont' know, since my HP is a 2200C. > I don't think SANE is to blame though, because the dmesg command shows (among > other things) this: > > uscanner0: Hew product 0x0405, rev 1.00/0.00, addr 2 > uscanner0: setting config no failed > device_attach: uscanner0 attach returned 6 > uhub0: port 2, set config at addr 2 failed > uhub0: device problem (STALLED), disabling port 2 And you know that your USB port works, because you use XP on this machine, correct? > There is no point in loading the scanner from the command line, because > 'kldload uscanner' brings up: > > kldload: can't load uscanner: File exists You will also need to set up device bits, in /etc/devfs.conf: #####Scanner perm uscanner0 <the perms you wish to have, like 0660 or 0666> > I compiled a kernel (just to see if I could), but the GENERIC kernel also > chokes on the scanner.

I suggest here: <http://xsane.org/>; and here: <http://www.sane-project.org/>. [1] The Sane Project indicates that it is new; so perhaps that backend has not yet made it into the distribution? I don't know...
