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...

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?
-P
If you run /sbin/lsusb one time after boot, to see if your scanner is
seen on usb, then it should be enough.
Go to http://xsane.org and see if your scanner is compatible with sane.
do a Google on your scanner, Linux, HP scanjet 6200C , get feedback from
other users.
