    I have an HP USB all in one device ( Scan,Fax, Print ) with a USB
    interface. I succesfully hooked it up to a SunBlade 100 under Solaris 9
    and used Ghostscript etc and it prints like a dream. I now want to use
    the scan functions.

            I found Sane and the corresponding front and backends which
    are all available for Solaris but only seem to refer to SCSI scanners
    which seem a bit ancient and keeps referring to libusb being needed for
    USB scanners but this only seems to be available for linux, FreeBSD and
    OpenBSD

            It seems hard to believe that all this is available apart from
    the tiny device driver / library for this class of device on USB ( USB
    printers after all are recognised and work )

            Anyone know either of any way to access USB scanners on Solaris
    or the status of any libusb port to Solaris ?

    Best Regards

    Steve Butterfield
