Based on the Luigi's link included in an almost year old email to  
these lists, I purchased an Epson CX5600 with all intentions of using  
the scanner but never seemed to get around to configuring it.  Many  
things have happened since then including new USB, etc. etc. The  
printer still works fine using cups.  I have just tried to configure  
the scanner without luck.  A device isn't created in /dev and only the  
printer is recognized on boot:

Nov 11 17:24:51 ed kernel: uhub0: 5 ports with 5 removable, self powered
Nov 11 17:24:51 ed kernel: uhub2: 5 ports with 5 removable, self powered

(255h,63s != 16h,63s).

(255h,63s != 16h,63s).
Nov 11 17:24:51 ed kernel: uhub1: 5 ports with 5 removable, self powered

Nov 11 17:24:51 ed kernel: ulpt0: <USB2.0 Printer> on usbus2
Nov 11 17:24:51 ed kernel: ulpt0: using bi-directional mode

I installed:

drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel       512 Nov 11 16:27 sane-backends-1.0.20_4
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel       512 Nov 11 16:41 sane-frontends-1.0.14_5
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel       512 Nov 11 16:47 xsane-0.996_1


added entries in usbdevs and devd.conf.

I don't really know where to go from here.  I haven't configured a  
scanner for freebsd in years and am totally lost.  It isn't really  
that important but it would certainly be handy.

I am running up to date Current:

FreeBSD ed.local.net.mx 9.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT #360: Wed Nov  
11 06:55:25 CST 2009      
root at ed.local.net.mx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ENCONTACTO  i386

That could be part of the problem.

Thanks,

ed

P.S. Luigi thanks for the great tutoral.  I'm pretty sure the problems
      are from the changes made in current this year.

one option is to put the device IDs in uscanner.c and see if
it is recognised. But other than that, i wouldn't waste much time:
for 50..80 euro you can get one of the
Epson multifunction printer scanners (i have personally
tried DX4400 to DX7050) which are well supported and
extremely reliable.
