Well, we tried here :-)

I was thinking the next step would be to record and analyze the activity on 
the USB bus.  Not sure what kind of equipment is needed for that, though.

My problem may very well be a scanner issue.  The HP 6200c scanner has a bad 
reputation and it may be that it needs some type of "dummy" packet before it 
will respond properly to the next "real" command.  I would be interesting to 
compare a packet trace from Windows with NetBSD.
