The hp.conf file kind of implies something similar, but I can't tell
whether it would want the line above or this:
/dev/uscanner0
option connect-device
Hm, this is strange. I have two hp files in sane.d, both sseem
oriented toward Linux. There is an entry for the 4100c in
"hp.conf", but it wants to create /dev/scanner.
That line tells sane which device to use. In FreeBSD, that's
/dev/uscanner0.

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.
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.

5 1 0xc2352000 3000 uscanner.ko
Does this output look right? This may be right the scanner
wasn't seen. I figured that by kldloading uscanner.ko,
/dev/uscanner0 would be auto-created. I need some other
magic.
I have the USB modules in my kernel, so I don't see it in kldstat.
