[sane-devel] Re: SANE, Epson backend on NetBSD

[Michael Piotrowski]

Hi,

First of all, thanks to Karl Heinz and Henning for the quick replys,
and I'm sorry for the confusion: uk is the SCSI user-level (pass-thru,
generic) driver on NetBSD, I should have said this.

Yes, of course!  I had tried "scsi /dev/scanner", since I had
forgotten that it's just "/dev/scanner"--I've used it on HP-UX, but I
had gotten used to the autodetection on Linux ... So it was purely my
fault, it's working fine now.

Noted.  I'm currently busy, but I think I'll look at it when I find
some spare time.

Thanks for the hint--it made me re-read sane-scsi(5), and I'm seeing
much clearer now :-)

Thanks and greetings
