[PLUG] experience with the HP 2100C scanner?

[MaD dUCK <madduck@madduck.net>]

hey,
does anyone out there have experience with the HP2100C scanner and
using it in linux? it's USB, but Debian Potato (2.2.18pre21) seems to
be fine with that. at least...:

  orange:~# lsmod
  Module                  Size  Used by
  ...
  scanner                 4228   0  (unused)
  usbcore                41804   0  [usbkbd scanner usbmouse]
  ...

and 

  orange:/lib/modules/2.2.18pre21/usb# ls {scanner,usb*}.o
  scanner.o   usb-storage.o  usbcore.o  usbmouse.o
  usb-ohci.o  usb-uhci.o     usbkbd.o   usbserial.o

furthermore, SANE 1.04 is installed.

but:

  orange:/usr/local/bin# find-scanner 
  # If your scanner uses SCSI, you must have a driver for your SCSI
  # adaptor and support for SCSI Generic (sg) in your Operating System
  # in order for the scanner to be used with SANE. If your scanner is
  # NOT listed above, check that you have installed the drivers.

  orange:/usr/local/bin# ./scanimage -L

  No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something
  different,
  check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
  find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
  which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

of course, the scanner is on and connected, but /proc/bus/usb, even
though it exists, is empty.

i'd much rather not switch to 2.4.2 until there is a nice debian
package for it. so how can i do it? why is usb working with
2.2.18pre21 in the first place? and where to go from there?
