  Nothing in the hardware has changed. I have an Epson 1240U connected via my
  usb port. Under Slackware 7.1 it used to work.

  The kernel has usb software built in. And as I noted above I can make contact
  with the scanner. I just can't get it to scan.

  Here is a snippet from dmesg:

  usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs
  usb.c: registered new driver hub
  uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0x6300, IRQ 11
  usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1
  hub.c: USB hub found
  hub.c: 2 ports detected
  uhci.c: Linus Torvalds, Johannes Erdfelt, Randy Dunlap, Georg Acher, Deti
  Fliegl, Thomas Sailer, Roman Weissgaerber
  uhci.c: USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver
  usb.c: registered new driver usbscanner
  scanner.c: USB Scanner support registered.ub.c: USB new device connect on
  bus1/1, assigned device number 2
  hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2, assigned device number 3
  usb.c: USB device 3 (vend/prod 0x46d/0xc501) is not claimed by any active
  driver. (Note this device is a cordless mouse that I don't use at present.)

  ...

  This is from the same kernel that I used before.

  /dev/usb contains the following:
  crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 180, 48 Mar 25 16:04 scanner0
  crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 49 Mar 25 16:04 scanner1
  crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 58 Mar 25 16:04 scanner10
  crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 59 Mar 25 16:04 scanner11
  crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 60 Mar 25 16:04 scanner12
  crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 61 Mar 25 16:04 scanner13
  crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 62 Mar 25 16:04 scanner14
  crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 63 Mar 25 16:04 scanner15
  crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 50 Mar 25 16:04 scanner2
  crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 51 Mar 25 16:04 scanner3
  crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 52 Mar 25 16:04 scanner4
  crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 53 Mar 25 16:04 scanner5
  crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 54 Mar 25 16:04 scanner6
  crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 55 Mar 25 16:04 scanner7
  crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 56 Mar 25 16:04 scanner8
  crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 57 Mar 25 16:04 scanner9

  Does this help at all?
