-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I've recently set up a FreeBSD box for my father to replace his old windows stuff. Everything worked fine until i got to setup his scanner, a HP ScanJet 4100C. It is an USB scanner, and i can't get FreeBSD to recognize it :-( The USB ports in the computer are working fine as far as i can tell. I can plugin a webcam in either port and it gets recognized both by the kernel and when executing usbdevs. But when i plug in the scanner, usbdevs only reports "addr 0, should never happen!". After a short while, i get the error "uhub0: Device problem, disabling port X". When the scanner is plugged in during bootup, the kernel hangs for a few seconds after detecting the USB hub and then continues after printing the exact same message. But, though i have since been unable to reproduce it, yesterday i got it recognized for a very brief moment. I plugged the scanner in and it correctly got recognized as an Hp ScanJet 4100C, and i even had a message that uscanner0 was assigned to it. A few seconds later, it stopped working again with "device problem". I searched the web and some mailing list archives and found one message back from 2001 when someone reportet the exact same problem. The only reply he got was something along the lines of "FYI: My USB->serial converter does the exact same thing" . I should mention that the same scanner works perfectly in windows, so the device itself can't be defect, nor the cables, power supply etc. Can Anyone help me ? I am running 5.0-RELEASE on this box (recently cvsup'ed) and have compiled my own kernel with all necessary USB options. The behaviour was the same in 4.7-RELEASE, though... both with the respective GENERIC and my own kernels. Any help/solution/workaround would be greatly appreciated, since my father NEEDS his scanner and i can't just swap it for another device. And i would HATE to revert back to a M$ solution. Thank you very much in advance ! Please put me into the CC: line of any answer as i don't subscribe to this list. Tnx. - -Robert "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety won't have, nor do they deserve, either one." -Benjamin Franklin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAj5nldoACgkQbQeoBktF+rfqywCeLbSjkYEhpMjxK9QMBEM149W+ qxAAoIP9vPQ8FJtyBZH+32ID5vtcxwB3 =Ypq6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
