If the maintainer of the USB scanner module would be faster in adding additional ids to the kernel scanner driver, that wouldn't be a problem ;-) But you are right, you can only use one pair of vendor/product ids with the scanner driver. So in the case of more than one scanners that are not in the driver yet, editing scanner.h and recompiling the kernel is necessary. Bye, Henning
