Thanks for the information. Is anything required to change in SANE?
And why are the ss* devices still used in the kernel and detect the
scanner (at least mine)?

The uk devices work on OpenBSD, I haven't tested NetBSD with them.
sane-find-scanner tests for:

"/dev/uk0", "/dev/uk1", "/dev/uk2", "/dev/uk3", "/dev/uk4",
"/dev/uk5", "/dev/uk6", "/dev/ss0"

Bye,
