Anyone fancy buying a HP USB scanner and writing the support for it? There is a number of HP scanners out there. I expect them to be SCSI scanners with a USB wrapper. If this is the case than we can support them through the Mass Storage Bulk-Only transport layer which is being used already for the USB ZIP drives and make them look like SCSI scanners.
