You are at the right place. However, I don't know your scanner. > T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=01 Dev#= 2 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 > D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=ff(vend.)

The > "Product= FlatbedScanner 13" part is also a clue :-) Yes, but it's not detected by the scanner driver: Driver=(none)! Example for a Mustek USB scanner: I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=usbscanner > So far so good.

If you like, you can create /dev/usbscanner (or /dev/usb/scanner) by just linking it to /dev/usb/scanner0. Probably you need to tell the scanner module which scanner it should detect: rmmod scanner modprobe scanner vendor=0x04a5 product=0x207e scanimage -L Check the syntax, I didn't look at the docs for that.
