hi, ubuntu 14.04, sane 2.0.14-9, sane-utils 1.0.23-3ubuntu3.1, hp scanjet 5590 desktop scanner. the usb device number for a hp sj5590 is not persistent over reboots or sleep mode. is there a way to build a udev rule that will make an assignment that is persistent and is usable with scanimage? f

generally, i know how to write udev rules. but i'm not sure how to write one for libsane. scanimage -L returns something like: device `canon_dr:libusb:001:002' is a CANON DR-2580C scanner where the 001:002 is always changing. :005, :008, etc. so in 55-libsane.rules there is: # Canon DR-2580C A
