That was most helpful . . . but:
I followed your instructions to the letter and got this result after
the build, turning the 6500 on and having it plugged in:

I have selinux disabled.
I was able to plug the 6500 into my son's WinXP box and it worked
there, but I'd SO much rather use xsane than the scanner's control
panel - it's god-awfully slow, and windows takes almost as long as the
scan process itself to finish processing the PDF, and I don't get the
individua page images from multipage scans (like xsane provides).
I used the same USB cable for both host connections, and I've switched
connections on my host between the two open USB ports and neither one
works (although they work just fine for all my other
semi-permanently-attached USB devices, mainly my Brother laser printer
and the old HP Scanjet (and the HP Officejet that broke - it still
recognizes that when it's plugged in, but the scanner refuses to
work).
Any other ideas? What am I missing?
TIA.
Mark
