Seting-up an scanner (usb)

I'm using 9.0. I'm sure this must of happen to more than one person: I'm unable to setup a usb scanner because the list is empty Why is the scanner list empty when I goto: Start Applications System YaST -or- /sbin/yast2 as root Hardware Scanner select "USB Scanner" Next I get this "YaST coult not load the USB scanner module automatically" So, it tellms me to select a scanner from the list, *BUT* the list is empty. Has anyone seen this, or know what I might do. Thank you, Carlos
