[sane-devel] USB Scanner Problem

Hi Jan,

you should not need any additional configuration. I just tried my HP 
ScanJet 6350c with libusb without problems (up to now I used scanner.o).
You can try to reduce your hp.conf to the minimum entries that you need:

usb 0x03f0 0x0201

Just this line.
 From the listing I see that the libusb-device is opened successfully. 
It writes two commands to the scanner. When trying to read the response, 
it gets an error "read failed (End of file reached)". I don't know the 
reason. But it looks like it is located in the USB-part.
Maybe someone else on the list has encountered a similar problem ?

Sincerely

Peter
