First remember to kldoad uscanner and run usbd if you want to see something. Even with this my scanner was not recognized, but usbdevs -v allowed to identify it and get the model identification. I then went into /sys/dev/usb and noticed that this model was not listed in usbdevs. I added it and runned the makefile, edited uscanner.c to add the model and recompiled uscanner.ko. After that plugging the usb connector showed insertion and removal events with the appropriate device. Unfortunately, with the version of xsane in the ports i don't see the scanner. However sane-find-scanner sees it. Since the scanner went to a Windows 2000 machine i have not investigated further. Except that i have tried it also on a Linux machine with the latest 2.4.17 kernel and the epson provided driver with no more success. Maybe something of the same vein may be helpful for a printer. -- Michel TALON To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
