Yes, I copied that command after I had replugged it in (it changed) but 
it doesn't work even when making sure of correct ports/permissions.

Did you mean /etc/hotplug/usb/libsane.usermap? My scanner isn't in 
there, it is supported by the hpoj backend. Is there another file for 
this backend?

[root localhost root]# rpm -q libsane-hpoj
libsane-hpoj-0.91-6

Is there some kind of config file I need to run first though? As I am 
not running any hpoj files or binaries, (except the one started by 
Kudzu). The scanner was auto found by kudzu as below snip from 
/etc/sysconfig/hwconf shows:

class: OTHER
bus: USB
detached: 0
driver: unknown
desc: "Hewlett-Packard psc 1200 series"
usbclass: 0
usbsubclass: 0
usbprotocol: 0
usbbus: 3
usblevel: 1
usbport: 0
usbdev: 2
vendorId: 03f0

usbmfr: Hewlett-Packard
usbprod: psc 1200 series


Sorry for leaving this info out in the original post.
