USCANNER(4) OpenBSD Programmer's Manual USCANNER(4)NAMEuscanner - USB scanner support
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.
For multifunction USB devices such as scanner/printer/card readers, this
driver only attaches to the USB interface that controls the scanner. For
the other USB interfaces separate drivers are needed, such as ulpt(4) and
umass(4).

HISTORY
The uscanner driver appeared in NetBSD 1.6. OpenBSD support was first
added in OpenBSD 2.9.
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.
