Re: Run script when USB scanner unplugged

[Ian Pilcher <i.pilcher@comcast.net>]

Hard to believe that I've already stumped the entire hotplug development
community.  Since I don't see this in the archives, I'm resending it.
Sorry if it turns out to be a dupe.

OK, I've installed the udev RPM and added the following line to
/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules:

     BUS="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}="04b8", SYSFS{idProduct}="0110",
         NAME="usb/epson_scanner"

Here is the output of lsusb:

     Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
     Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04e8:323a Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd
     Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04b8:0110 Seiko Epson Corp. Perfection 1650
     Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

This seems like it should work, but the /udev/usb/epson_scanner node
never gets created.  (/udev/usb/lp0 is created.)  What could I be doing
wrong?

Thanks!
