NAME
uscanner
- minimal USB support for scanners
SYNOPSIS
uscanner* at uhub?
DESCRIPTION
The
uscanner
driver provides minimal support for USB scanners.
The driver recognizes a number of USB scanners, but to
actually scan anything there needs to be software that knows
about the particular scanner. The SANE package provides
support for some scanners.

The
uscanner
driver works with the following scanners:

HISTORY
The
uscanner
driver
appeared in
NetBSD1.6.
BUGS
This driver should not really exist. The scanners it recognizes
can be accessed through the
ugen(4)
driver instead. A proper scanner driver would provide a uniform
interface to scanners instead of exposing the innards of the
scanner.
The reason the driver exists is to have something that is compatible
with the Linux driver.
