No, not on my system.

That doesn't give any errors, but doesn't produce a file, either.

It's greek to me.  As I said, the scanner stuff has "just worked" for
me on several revs of Mandrake, so I have no idea what's supposed to
be making these devices, or what could have screwed it up.

When I reboot HardDrake says "Checking for new hardware", but then
doesn't see anything.  Is there a way to tell HardDrake that it
doesn't know about the scanner, so that it will think it's new and do
its thing again?  And see if it's the correct thing this time?
