I finally figured out how to get rid of hpusbscsi and usbdevfs on Redhat Fedora Core 1.
Renaming /hpusbscsi.o to hpusbscsi.obk did not work. It still loaded rm /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2174.nptl/kernel/drivers/usb/hpusbscsi.obk got rid of the module. I changed usbdevfs to usbfs in 2 places in /etc/rc.sysinit and rebooted to remove the obsolete reference to usbdevfs. I added /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and executed ldconfig to enable xsane to find libsane.so.1 scanimage -L now gives: device `avision:libusb:001:005' is a Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 7400c flatbed scanner scanimage >image.pnm scans a document, but the colors are wrong. xsane 0.91 acquire preview fails: Failed to start scanner. Invalid argument. I am currently reviewing man scanimage to see what to do about the colors. Is there a better place to find this information? I was unable to find the cause of the xsane message in the xsane documentation (where I also couldn't figure out how to get started) and a Google search. What should I try next?
