[sane-devel] messed up HP6350 USB Scanje config?

[Reid Vail]

About six months ago Peter gave me some advice about my HP6350c 
scanner.  It fixed my issue and got it working.  (I included that 
exchange at the bottom of this message).  Recently I upgraded my Suse 
box to Suse 8.2 and it's not working again.  I dug out the mail and 
checked the config.  Looks OK to me, and I included a few scraps.   I've 
included the output from sane-find-scanner.  The permissions also look 
OK, too, I think.  Any suggestions would be great.

thx

Reid
