Hm, this is strange. I have two hp files in sane.d, both sseem
oriented toward Linux. There is an entry for the 4100c in
"hp.conf", but it wants to create /dev/scanner.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/etc/sane.d# ll hp*

-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 238 Oct 9 23:09 hp5400.conf

Would it make sense to create an "hp4100.conf" with your epson line
"usb /dev/uscanner0" as a first line?

I am missing /dev/uscanner0. How is this /dev created?
q2 16:27 <tao> [5015] kldstat
Id Refs Address Size Name
1 11 0xc0400000 5e7530 kernel
2 14 0xc09e8000 537f0 acpi.ko
3 1 0xc1aaf000 2000 blank_saver.ko
4 1 0xc1ad1000 17000 linux.ko
5 1 0xc2352000 3000 uscanner.ko
Does this output look right? This may be right the scanner
wasn't seen. I figured that by kldloading uscanner.ko,
/dev/uscanner0 would be auto-created. I need some other
magic.
