Since this problem is most probably not FreeBSD-specific, I filed a bug (209721) with hplip: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/209721. The patch is attached there too. So my ordeal with this issue is finally closed. ___

If you haven't done that yet, try recompiling xorg-server without HAL (make config and check it off). I don't know why, but strange things like these happened to me too until HAL support was disabled. On Tue, Mar 25, 2008 at 5:53 PM, Aline de Freitas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Em Tuesday 25 March

Problem: I have a film scanner whose sane support is somewhat incomplete. There is a commercial piece of software called VueScan, which reportedly can do what I need. It can be had as either a Windows or Linux binary. It does not use sane on Linux, but apparently implements its own set of drivers

Thanks everyone, based on the info I am returning the nvidia card and getting an R4xx instead (found an X850 for under $80 still sold; seems to be well enough supported). I still want to try amd64; other limitations do not bother me that much (I do not care for wine or win32 codecs).
