[sane-devel] messed up HP6350 USB Scanje config?

[m. allan noah]

if you access the scanner via the /dev/* files under linux, you will need 
the scanner module inserted in your kernel. try 'insmod scanner' as root, 
then try sane-find-scanner again.

currently, your system is accessing the scanner via libusb, if you wish to 
keep that instead, comment out the lines in the hp.conf that specify the 
/dev/ device (whether or not the hp driver works with libusb, i cant say, 
as i use mine via scsi.)
