I believe this is the part that pertains to me. USB-scanners: ------------- USB-Scanners are supported by FreeBSD. The USB scanner driver "uscanner" and access over libusb can be used.
For some backends (e.g. gt68xx) you MUST use libusb. The uscanner driver won't work because it doesn't support control messages or interrupt endpoints. If you want to use libusb, your scanner should *not* be claimed by the uscanner driver. Make sure, that /dev/ugen* and /dev/usb* devices are available. Use /dev/MAKEDEV to create them, if necessary. Make sure that the user has write access to the appropriate device files. Now my quick question. When I plug in the Neatreceipts scanner it creates /dev/ugen0. Should I unplug the scanner and use /dev/MAKEDEV to create one that has the appropriate permissions? Or should I let it create it when I plug it in and then change the permissions?
