    Hey all -

    I've got a HP Scanjet 6200C at work (using the USB interface)
    hooked to one of my Linux boxen. I have Sane 1.0.4 installed as
    directed in the HOWTO and have the config. files set up for a HP
    USB scanner. However, xsane and xscanimage/scanimage can't find
    the scanner. The usb scanner module is loaded. I've done a
    Google search on the subject and found several articles, all of
    which tell me that I have set everything up correctly. It's not
    a permission problem, as it doesn't work as root either. The
    scanner does work in Windoze.

    Snippet from /var/log/messages:

    lsmod dump:

    I do get several of these on bootup:

    usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout

    but from what I understand it's normal to see a few of these while
    the scanner is initializing.

    I have the same scanner at home (using the SCSI interface
    instead of USB). SANE has no problems with it there.

    Any suggestions?

    The USB interface on the office machine works in Linux, as I'm able to
    talk to my USB Zip drive in Linux without any problems.

    TIA -- Bob
