NAME
     uscanner - 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.
