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:

I installed:

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.
