[sane-devel] HP 7450C, hpusbscsi, permissions in Fedora Core 3

[Jens Westemeier]

Hi Thomas,

I had the same problem with my SuSE 9.2 distribution. Recompiling the kernel 
without hpusbscsi might help. I left the kernel unchanged but entered the 
"hpusbscsi" driver into "/etc/hotplug/blacklist". Maybe there is something 
similar to that in Feodora.

Greetings, Jens.
