It looks like all HP scanners other than the HP5400 are defined in hp.conf, so use that one. > I am missing /dev/uscanner0. How is this /dev created? When the kernel detects the USB scanner, it should create /dev/uscanner0. Back in 5.4 or so, my Thinkpad would not detect the scanner unless I hot-plugged the USB cable (leaving the scanner connected and just powering it on did not work). On a desktop system, just turning on the scanner with the USB cable works. All of this may have changed with 6.0, to which you should upgrade unless you have a very compelling reason to stick with the obsolete 5.3. > 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?

I have the USB modules in my kernel, so I don't see it in kldstat. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
