That's the correct one, I guess. There are some other scanner drivers for specific (e.g. SCSI-over-USB) scanners. But I guess you can ignore those. Ok, here it is: > T: Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 2 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 > D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=ff(vend.)

Because the scanner driver doesn't know your scanner yet. Ther is no USB scanner calss so the driver must be told every vendor/product id that is a scanner. Either in source code or by modprobe options. Bye, Henning
