HP Photosmart 715 USB digital camera



Has anyone got this working under Linux?  I recompiled my kernel 2.4.17 to
add USB support.  The camera is detected correctly under
/proc/bus/usb/devices .  However I don't know how I'm supposed to get
pictures downloaded from it.  I have drivers for usb-storage and hpusbscsi
which I successively tried insmod'ing.  My understanding is the camera
should then show up as a SCSI device.  But /proc/scsi/scsi only shows my
real SCSI devices (I have a BusLogic card and the driver is loaded.)  On
connect, /var/log/messages says:

Jan 25 12:12:16 jyoti kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 8
Jan 25 12:12:16 jyoti kernel: usb.c: USB device 8 (vend/prod 0x3f0/0x6402) is not claimed by any active driver.

which suggests to me neither of these drivers are correct.

Next I tried gphoto2.  Their web page says other PhotoSmart models are
supported but doesn't mention the 715.  When I do:

$ gphoto2 --list-cameras

I get:

gPhoto2 reported the error 'Directory not found'

Which is pretty much what I get for any of its' functions.

Does anyone have any further advice?
