Hello,

my scanner is not found by the sane-find-scanner -tool.

I have compiled the kernel with:

    UHCI
    USB Divice Filesystems
    USB Scanner support
    USB Handspring Visior Support

    Prelminary USB  Device Filesystem


/proc/bus/usb is mounted on none as usbdevfs


the following devices are configured with

mknod /dev/usb/usbscanner0 c 180 48
mknod a+rw /dev/usb/usbscanner0

the same with ...usbscanner1 and 2


/etc/sane/hp.conf looks like:

/dev/usb/usbscanner0           also probed 1 an 2
    option connect-device


sane-backends-1.0.6 are installed

sane-frondends-1.0.6 requests after ./configure:

GUI`s   activated    (xcam  + xscanimage)
GIMP   deactivated for scannimage         ..... any idea why and how i
can change this

so why is my scanner still not detected isn`t the driver installed with
sane backends?
