Nothing in dmesg, but according to usbdevs -v that's correct.

I just tried that, but according to the sane-usb(5) manpages, SANE uses
libusb on /dev/ugen* for USB access, however dmesg does not list any
devices that would be attached to the ugen driver. Is it possible to
disable ulpt0 in a readily compiled kernel? The machine is a headless
raspberry pi and ulpt doesn't have a kernel module so I'm guessing I
still need to recompile? Or can I still disable it via userconf(4) for
testing?


Best,
