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. My rational against hp.conf is the ^/dev/scanner line as well as the first SCSI line. What does scsi HP do? I don't use SCSI in this FBSD server. I am missing /dev/uscanner0. How is this /dev created? When the kernel detects the USB scanner, it should create /dev/uscanner0. Should I uncomment the USB 2.0 device in my KERNCONF file? 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. I built my 5.4 upgrades a week+ ago. Installed kernel and world Thursday mornng. I'm using a desktop in office for this; my ThinkPad has no USB. Anyway, some part of the scanner hardware is trashed; part(s) being replaced. When I see /dev/uscanner0, things should look lots brighter.

Either the transformer isn't working or the unit itseld is defective. Or *both*. That's what comes with AS-IS. How can i be sure that my dual USB ports are working? Is usbstats (?) the right utility?
