I have used my Epson Perfection 1670 USB scanner on all previous OpenSuse version w/o any problems. The scanner can after configuration using yast be used by root but not by regular users. A regular user can find the scanner using sane-find-scanner but scanimage -L does not show a device attached. After the configuration using yast, this window pops up: --------- The following models are currently not known to HAL: USB-ID(hex)=04b8:011f To access a scanner as normal user, udev and HAL are needed to grant appropriate access permissions automatically. (Up to openSUSE 11.0 hal-resmgr is also needed.) Therefore the scanner model must be known to HAL. If the scanner is not known to HAL, a re-plug of a USB scanner should help. Otherwise a reboot should be done to restart the whole udev and HAL machinery. Check if the scanner is listed in the 'lshal' output. If a SCSI scanner which was switched on during boot is not listed in the 'lshal' output, the usual reason is that the kernel module for the scanner's SCSI host adapter does not notify HAL about the scanner device. If even a reboot does not help, you could access the scanner via the 'saned' as a workaround. For this workaround choose 'scanning via network' and select the 'local host configuration'. -------- after disconnecting and connecting the device I get: ------- /var/log/message------- Dec 29 20:00:10 linux-fndc kernel: usb 5-4: USB disconnect, address 6 Dec 29 20:00:13 linux-fndc kernel: usb 5-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7 Dec 29 20:00:13 linux-fndc kernel: usb 5-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Dec 29 20:00:13 linux-fndc kernel: usb 5-4: New USB device found, idVendor=04b8, idProduct=011f Dec 29 20:00:13 linux-fndc kernel: usb 5-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 Dec 29 20:00:13 linux-fndc kernel: usb 5-4: Product: EPSON Scanner Dec 29 20:00:13 linux-fndc kernel: usb 5-4: Manufacturer: EPSON Dec 29 20:00:47 linux-fndc kernel: usb 5-4: USB disconnect, address 7 Dec 29 20:00:54 linux-fndc kernel: usb 5-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8 Dec 29 20:00:54 linux-fndc kernel: usb 5-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Dec 29 20:00:54 linux-fndc kernel: usb 5-4: New USB device found, idVendor=04b8, idProduct=011f Dec 29 20:00:54 linux-fndc kernel: usb 5-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 Dec 29 20:00:54 linux-fndc kernel: usb 5-4: Product: EPSON Scanner Dec 29 20:00:54 linux-fndc kernel: usb 5-4: Manufacturer: EPSON ---------- lshal -m: Start monitoring devicelist: ------------------------------------------------- 20:00:54.682: usb_device_4b8_11f_noserial added 20:00:54.791: usb_device_4b8_11f_noserial_if0 added I can find 04b8:011f in the following file: /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty/70-scanner.fdi which would identify it correctly as an Epson Perfection 1670. I tried to reinstall all sane packages to no avail.
