Hi!  I've just installed SANE-1.0.7 on my Slackware 8-based Linux system
with these mods:

* 2.4.18 kernel
* glibc-2.2.5
* gcc-3.0.4
* binutils-2.12

I DO have USB support compiled into my kernel and the USB ports and
scanner driver ARE being loaded (/var/log/messages output):

sane-find-scanner can 'see' the scanner:

sane-find-scanner: found USB scanner (vendor = 0x03f0, product = 0x0105)
at device /dev/usb/scanner0

but scanimage can't seem to find the scanner:

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

here is my /usr/etc/sane.d/hp.conf file:

bash-2.05a# cat /usr/etc/sane.d/hp.conf
#scsi HP
usb 0x03f0 0x0105
/dev/usb/scanner0
  option connect-device
bash-2.05a#

Any ideas as to why my scanner can't be found by scanimage?  I
HAVE applied the HP 4200c patch to the 1.0.7 source, even though the
HP4200c patch listed 1.0.5 in the filename, so I don't know if I even
needed to apply the patch.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Peace....
