    Yes, I consulted a compatibility list and based the selection of the
    Canon on that. There's little doubt the HP will still work too once
    we find the cause of the problem. The HP has a separate power supply
    [wall wart]. I was surprised to see that the canon depends on USB
    for power, I didn't realize that when I ordered it but they seem to
    think it works.

    Nothing here?


        [bobg at box6 ~]$ /var/log/message
        bash: /var/log/message: No such file or directory

    Something here:


        [bobg at box6 ~]$ rpm -qa \*sane
        xsane-0.998-4.fc16.x86_64

    I guess that just shows that xsane is there?
