I use an HP Scanjet 2100c flatbed USB scanner. Works flawlessly. The only
problem I have with it is when I update my usb stuff and have to go into
/proc/bus/usb/001/ and re chgrp and chown the particular device file (in my
case 005 for the scanner). For some reason it's only the scanner that is
affected and not my keyboard and mouse (both usb as well).
