usb access regression

[mobidyc]

Hello,

I found some bugs concerning /proc/bus/usb whch have been closed whit won't fix, but I am on a real problem which cannot seems to have a workaround.

description :
I have a scanner (samsung clx2160) which fully worked on ubuntu 9.04 by using LInux Unified Driver and doing these simple manipulations:
$ sudo mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
$ sudo usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs -obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644
$ sudo ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices
$ sudo mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb

On Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04b2 It doesn't work anymore.
I've not found any workaround to access the scanner

It is a complete regression and the only solution I could apply is a multiboot with Ubuntu 9.0 but It is really an ugly solution.

I bought this multifonction printer because It fully worked on Linux and because It worked on Ubuntu.

Hello
Is this problem present with the latest updated Lucid's or Maverick's packages?
Thanks in advance
