Trying to use a HP 6300 scanner with SANE. Particulars:
Ubuntu 10.10, kernel 2.6.35-28-generic-pae
Scanner connected through usb

Results of 'sane-find-scanner':
found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [Hewlett-Packard], product=0x0601 [HP
ScanJet 6300C]) at libusb:005:002

here is /dev/bus/usb/005 directory:
crw-rw-r--  1 root root    189, 512 2011-05-13 20:22 001
crw-rw-r--+ 1 root scanner 189, 513 2011-05-13 20:51 002

device 001 is the root hub.

symlink to scanner is present in /dev:
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root            15 2011-05-13 20:22 hp6350C ->
bus/usb/005/002

contents of /etc/sane.d/hp.conf:

/dev/hp6350C
  option connect-usb

running 'scanimage -L' with debug enabled (also tried as root) gives:

[sanei_debug] Setting debug level of hp to 128.

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
[hp] sane_exit called
[hp] hp_destroy: global.is_up = 0
[hp] sane_exit will finish

I see the 'invalid argument' but I don't know what it is complaining about.

Are the major/minor numbers for /dev/bus/usb/005/002 OK? Everything
I've read says major 180 for scanners.

What am I missing?

thanks,

Ken
