Scanner Not Found - Xsane

[rdlpc]

System:
$ uname -a

FreeBSD host 9.0-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE-p3 #0: Tue Jun 12 02:52:29 UTC 2012 root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64

I have installed Xsane form AppCafe. When I list usb devices I see my HP F42440 (All in One) Printer and even scanner usb interface. I run the find my scanner utilitiy and see my scanner. When I open Xsane it searches and states my scanner is not found. I try as root with sudo xsane from a terminal and it states scanner not found.

Xsane finds automatically in Linux and the HP scanner is supported by Xsane. I am a member of wheel, operator, cups.

devfs.conf:
I have validated permissions for scanner uscan* 0660.
I have validated permissions on USB interfaces with usb* and ugen* 0660

rc.conf scanner is enabled

Is this a PCBSD OS permissions issue or is there another driver needed not installed from AppCafe for the scanner USB interface? I have look on web and not seeing specific directions.

Any support would be appreciated. This is the last device for full support in PCBSD in order for me to migrate as primary OS.

Try this first. Uninstall xsane from the AppCafe, and lets try finding
the scanner with "sane-find-scanner" at the CLI. (Its included with the
base OS) Does that show your scanner?

Thanks Kris for your reply here is the information. Any suggestions?

Here is the output of the command.

$ sudo sane-find-scanner

# sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
# result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
# scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.

# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
# you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

Ok, it sounds like it did find the scanner then. To test it with the
built-in xsane, do this:

# portsnap fetch extract update
# cd /usr/ports/graphics/xsane
# make install

Then run "xsane" as your user. Does it find anything now?
