It tells me how to write a udev rule that will create an appropriate
link for your scanner at boot time :-)

************************

I'm running Fedora Core 3.
I have an HP 5P scanner which /var/log/messages says:

Vendor: HP        Model: C5110A            Rev: 3701

Xsane returns an error "no devices found". I then typed the above
udevinfo command which returned the message:

"couldn't get the class device"

Apparently udev isn't initializing this scanner. I tried using MAKEDEV -
x sg without luck. Can I get some help? I really need to get this
scanner working.

Thanks.

Bob
