Dan,

Tried cdrecord --scanbus as user.  It gave me a long list of reasons why 
it couldn't give me what I wanted. Then I tried it as root.

The result:

root at ip68-2-118-120Pooh-at-Home:/home/bob # cdrecord --scanbus

Except for the fact that scanbus found my scanner (which Ubuntu doesn't 
recognize), and the fact that cdrecord is having trouble with kernel 
2.6.10, I'm not sure what this is telling me. Could you point out the 
device address?
