cannot get USB scanner detected - dapper beta

[Paul Trevethan]

Hi,
Hoping someone can guide me here? I have a HP 6200c usb scanner
attached to my machine that runs fully up-to-date dapper beta.

Ever since the installation of dapper flight 6 (as a fresh install), I
have not been able to get the scanner detected at all.  I mean
"scanimage -L" and "sane-find-scanner" both show nothing detected. The
device itself is not detected, which to me indicates something amiss
with my usb setup?

Unfortunately, my only experience with scanners not working was under
Suse and in the days of kernel drivers. I am a bit lost with all this
new libusb stuff.

I have included the output from 'lsusb' and 'dmesg | grep usb'. The
latter seems to show the error condition '-71', but I have no idea
where to go from here?

Hoping someone can help,
Paul.
