Hi,

we should remove hpusbscsi from the Kernel. It is long obsolete and very 
unstable. I can send a patch for 2.4 and 2.6 (if needed) ;-)

Yes. Hpusbscsi has many drawbacks. The major ones are:

  - does not work with new scanners (that are designed for USB 2.0)
  - it is highly instable (e.g. during an i/o error it locks up
    quite easily and leaves the (usb sub-)system in a state that
    needs a reboot ...

The later problem made me add the user-space i/o code to the 
SANE/Avision backend, because I had to reboot my system every 5 minutes 
during development ...

Yours,
