if you access the scanner via the /dev/* files under linux, you will need the scanner module inserted in your kernel. try 'insmod scanner' as root, then try sane-find-scanner again.
currently, your system is accessing the scanner via libusb, if you wish to keep that instead, comment out the lines in the hp.conf that specify the /dev/ device (whether or not the hp driver works with libusb, i cant say, as i use mine via scsi.) allan On Thu, 5 Jun 2003, Reid Vail wrote: > About six months ago Peter gave me some advice about my HP6350c > scanner.
