rescan-scsi-bus.sh ask to the SG devices (through sg module I think) ,
and this one can answer something correct, because the question is very
"basic" (I mean it's not a (e.g.) Canon-specific command).
Is this correct ?
What I thought is something else :
eric@tomate:/usr/src/linux/drivers/usb$ egrep -H FS4000 ./* 2>/dev/null
./scanner.h: { USB_DEVICE(0x04a9, 0x3042) }, /* FS4000US */
So the name of the FS4000 from Canon is officialy in the kernel
(2.4.23pre4 for me)...
It 's only a declaration, with good ids. But is it usable anyway ?

Hummmm, yes I've found something interessant in the VueScan Doc :
./vuescan.htm-What's new in version 7.6.30
./vuescan.htm-<UL>
./vuescan.htm:<LI>Fixed problem with Canon FS4000 infrared cleaning
./vuescan.htm-<LI>Fixed problem with ScanWit 2740S infrared cleaning
Interessant, a bug corrected twice :-)
Same chipset ?

I'll take this way : look at the FS2700 backend for write the FS4000.

Ok : scanimage loads a backend, and sane-find-scanner/rescan-scsi-bus.sh
use generic commands directly.

It is a very, very important information for me. Thank you. I'll search
immediatly other informations.

I don't understand why the sane API seems to be used. Can someone help me ?
BTW : is it possible to give any option with VueScan ? I'll read again
the doc too...

Bad way again for me... :-(
Thank you very much for all the tips you've given to me...
