Subject: Gentlemen:
My brother moved in with me today and he brought me a peace-offering, a
scanner. It is a Visioneer OneTouch 5600 USB. A google search did not reveal
whether or not this device works with linux so I thought I would present my
findings to you for any assistance you may be willing to provide.

lsusb reveals:

bmike1@1[Trash]$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 058f:9254 Alcor Micro Corp. Hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 046d:08b0 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam 3000 Pro [pwc]
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 045e:003c Microsoft Corp. SideWinder Joystick
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0461:0367 Primax Electronics, Ltd
bmike1@1[Trash]$

I also ran lsusb w/o the scanner pluged in and the last entry was not present.
How can I figure out which Primax model it is? because a quick google shows
that some models do work.

I was just reminded about dmesg:

hub.c: new USB device 00:07.2-1.3, assigned address 8
usb.c: USB device 8 (vend/prod 0x461/0x367) is not claimed by any active
driver.

so with the vend/prod number I nimbly approach google and LQ Search to reveal
that nothing was found in their archives searching for '0x461/0x367 scanner'

So I must rely on you.
