I have the gentoo 2.6 kernel, and i've been trying to install my HP 5200C
scanner with a usb connection to it.
I initially installed libusb and then sane-backends. I ran the
sane-find-scanner script and it came up with nothing. Stating that there
wasn't any usb scanners or that the drivers aren't installed.
I went and looked in the /proc/bus/usb and looked in the devices file and
saw my scanner listed so the system see it there. I emerge xsane and
tried that to see if i might be able to get it to work with that but it
uses sane-backends as a backend and couldn't detect my scanner.
The next thing I did and thought might work was that I didn't have a usb
mount in my fstab file. So i added the following line to fstab and
restarted my machine.
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0
One other thing I did was went into the sane directory and looked at the
hp.conf file to see if my printer was commented out in there for some
reason and it wasn't.
Still i no go. I did see it mounted corrected during start up. I'm kind
of stuck now not sure what to do.
Any ideas would be great.
