Trouble here in brew city...

FC6 on a TP T30, fully patched and updated.

HP ScanJet 6200C on a USB port that works fine with other devices (like
a mouse and a camera.) The Linux compatibility list has this on the list.

Scanner has been working fine with other systems for years.

xsane 0.991 can't find the scanner.

So I run sane-find-scanner both as me and as root, and it reports no
results. Weird. I run lsusb and lo-and-behold...

Bus 001 Device 011: ID..... Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 6200C

Then I run xsane again and voila, there it is! Just posting this in case
someone else is trying to do the same thing. "Don't know what I did, but
it works now."

I am happy, cuz it's a darn nifty scanner - big ol' flat bed.

Do you have to run lsusb every time you boot up to be able to scan?
