Hi, I am using debian linux kernel 2.6.11, and I downloaded the latest sarge sane package, I am trying to make an HP8200 USB scanner work, and I encounter the same problem as in http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2005-August/014376.html Just wondering if anyone had been successful with HP8200 USB scanner, or any suggestion what might went wrong with my case.

Download http://www.linuxprinting.org/till/tmp/usb-libusb.c and replace the file backend/usb.c in the CUPS source by this file. Then recompile and replace /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb by the newly compiled "usb" executable. Restart the CUPS daemon. Now you will be able to print with usblp unloaded. Problem is when you have both an HP and an Epson MF device on the same server, as HPLIP for the HP device NEEDS usblp. The libusb-based CUPS backend is written by Couriousous, a Mandriva contributor, thanks to him for this work. I CC him, so that he can perhaps help on this issue. Another problem is the memory card reader in the Epson photo printers and MF devices, AFAIK there is no libusb-based driver for USB mass storage devices, and no solution to provide mountable file systems completely in user space. Epson has also their own CUPS backend in the PIPS and/or IScan packages, but probably it is not free software. Olaf, or is this backend free software? As older kernels worked fine, I suggest to file a bug against the kernel. Till
