Hi;
 I have an HP Photosmart C5180 all in one printer/scanner.

It worked fine in F8 both as a printer and scanner.
Now here I am a bit fuzzy.
I *Think* it worked ok in F9, I don't scan much.

Now it prints but is not detected as a scanner.
This is a USB device.
I uncommented the two lines in /etc/sane.d/hp.conf

# Uncomment the following if your scanner is connected by USB,
# but you are not using libusb
 /dev/usb/scanner0
  option connect-device

There in no /dev/scanner
I can't figure out how to usw /sbin/MAKEDEV to make one.

This is a fully updated F9 KDE box.
