Quite possibly we should remove (comment out) uscanner in GENERIC. ulpt is more controversial, but cups wants to use libusb too. > I am of the same opinion as the PR originator that it is easier to control > access permissions with a uscanner device rather than having to open up a > whole raft of ugen devices, but I guess the sane developers feel that using > libusb makes support easier... Perhaps if we had something called uscanner that would match scanners and that libusb would fine, we could have the permissions management of direct matching but the cope-with-the-rest-of-the-world benefit of libusb.
