The YaST2 scanner module cannot support third-party scanner drivers
because there is no defined way in SANE how third-party scanner driver
software must install so that generic scanner setup software
could support it.
But such support is usually not needed because:
Basically a third-party scanner driver software which works in
compliance with SANE would add its driver name during installation
to /etc/sane.d/dll.conf so that its driver is activated and then
the driver would work, see "SANE Backends" at
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_Scanners
In your case according to attachment #451911
the "lexmark_nscan" driver was added during installation
to /etc/sane.d/dll.conf so that their driver is activated
but their driver does not work because "scanimage -L"
does not find the scanner.
In your case it would not help if YaST support your
third-party scanner driver because all what YaST could do
is to activate the "lexmark_nscan" driver in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf
but this has already happened and YaST cannot fix a driver
when it is activated but does not work.
