THANKS! for your reply. I'm happy to provide any details and info on
my system and what I am doing; I really want this scanner to work.
So please don't go, and help me through this.

The scanner is connected via USB. I unplugged it, plugged it back again.
This is what I get in the console:

    uscanner0: at uhub1 port 1 (addr 2) disconnected
    uscanner0: detached
    uscanner0: Hewlett-Packard HP ScanJet 5200C, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 2


This is what I get from

$ cat /var/run/dmesg.boot | grep -i usb
uhci0: <Intel 82801EB (ICH5) USB controller USB-A> port 0xbc00-0xbc1f irq 2 at device 29.0 on pci0

pci0: <USB controller> at 29.7 irq 9


What should I do next?

I'm running 4-Stable, as of this week, June 7th. So that should do.
