Well I tried it last night. Hacked a bit with usbdevs -v to try and get
the correct product and vendor codes.  I placed it all into plustek.conf
and did a scaniamge -d plustek:/dev/uscanner0 -h.  It staid that it
found the plustek device but no more would it do.

As soon as I did a scanimage -d plustek:/dev/uscanner0 > t.pnm  it
moaned that either it could not open the device or that the device was
busy.

Any more ideas ?...

After reading the mail from Thomas Niedermeier.  I am wondering if this
is not a BSD issue ?...

Has anyone got sane to work on a 4. BSD ?...
