[sane-devel] device not recognised

[SteveC]

from a trawl thru the mailing list it seems the first step with sane is to 
get the scanner module to detect my scanner. I get:

Oct  1 11:44:25 fang kernel: usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus 
number 2
Oct  1 11:44:25 fang kernel: hub.c: USB hub found
Oct  1 11:44:25 fang kernel: hub.c: 2 ports detected
Oct  1 11:44:30 fang kernel: usb.c: registered new driver usbscanner
Oct  1 11:44:30 fang kernel: scanner.c: 0.4.6:USB Scanner Driver
Oct  1 11:45:21 fang kernel: hub.c: new USB device 10:19.0-1, assigned 
address 2Oct  1 11:45:21 fang kernel: usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 
0x3f0/0x1105) is not claimed by any active driver.

The scanner is a HP Scanjet 5470c with USB. My kernel is:

Linux fang 2.4.20-pre7-ben0 #19 Thu Sep 19 15:40:05 BST 2002 ppc unknown 
unknown GNU/Linux

on an iBook2.

Looking at scanner.h I see:

/* Hewlett Packard */
        { USB_DEVICE(0x03f0, 0x0205) }, /* 3300C */
        { USB_DEVICE(0x03f0, 0x0405) }, /* 3400C */
        { USB_DEVICE(0x03f0, 0x0101) }, /* 4100C */
        { USB_DEVICE(0x03f0, 0x0105) }, /* 4200C */

and:

//      { USB_DEVICE(0x03f0, 0x0701) }, /* 5300C - NOT SUPPORTED - see 
http://www.neatech.nl/oss/HP5300C/ */

so does that rule out the 5470 too? is it worth hacking the avision driver 
and see if anything magic happens?

TIA!

have fun,
