I have a HP 4100c scanner attached via USB to my system -- Kooka doesn't think there is a scanner attached. It seems like I should need to modify my hp.conf file, but it is a system file that can't be edited. What do I do? Any advice would be apreachiated.

Here is info on my system from running lspci:
