Default uscanner0 permissions

I have been very happy with a recently installed am64 current desktop but am hav
ing difficulties scanner as a user. I have xsane installed and see my HP 5200C
scanner attach to uscanner0 in the dmesg. I am a member of the wheel group.

When I start xsane it says no scanner found
What I think is the pertinent part of my dmesg

The OpenBSD.README for sane says I just need rw permissions.
I am going to try adding myself to the saned group which I just found but say nothing that this is needed for user access.

Output of sane-find-scanner

# Your USB scanner was detected. It may or may not be supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
# `UNKNOWN vendor and product' means that there seems to be a scanner at this

# Currently identification only works with Linux versions >= 2.4.8. You may
# need to configure your backend manually, see the backend's manpage.

# Not checking for parallel port scanners.

# You may want to run this program as root to find all devices. Once you

Any suggestions appreciated

Managed to work through it.
Even though man uscanner lists the HP 5200C as a supported device the vendor ID is not found.

If is disable uscanner the device is attached to ugen0 which works.

Yes, SANE includes its own userland drivers.. it access the devices using libusb which only works for devices attached as ugen(4).

It's probably better to do it this way, I don't believe the uscanner(4) interface is well maintained.

Just speaking out of my.. uhh.. face.. but it may even get removed one of these days, maybe not.

For those of us with inexpensive combination USB printer/scanners, rebooting to switch between operating modes is often unwieldly, especially when the device is plugged into a server for sharing among users.

I find it easier to disable the printer, unplug the USB cable, and connect it to a laptop/netbook for scanning, then reinsert it into the server and enable spooling.

HP C5200 can scan directly to flash memory card which can be mounted as umass storage device on OpenBSD. Look for my posts on misc under the name "scanning without SANE".

uscanner as pointed earlier should be probably removed from the code. In any case you should disable uscanner driver in kernel as ugen driver has to be attached to your all-in-one in order to scan. Google for my posts about HPLIP on OpenBSD.
