[brlug-newbies] Scanner

[Dustin Puryear]

I'm no scanner pro. Actually, I don't even use the HP scanner we have at
work, and we have the Windows software for it installed. Did you read a
HOWTO on this and see if there are any troubleshooting tips?

The scanner connects through usb.  Usually when I hook something to a usb  port I get something on the screen showing something is hooked up, but this doesn't show anything is hooked up.
