This is interesting (I had a similar fight with SuSE 9.0 and an 
all-in-one from HP).  Could you please tell me where you found those 
instructions?  I'm about to re-install that system with SuSE 9.1 (yes, 
not upgrade) and although I hope the problem has been addressed it's 
always a good idea to have a backup solution ;-).

As an aside - wouldn't it be good if all those scanners and devices 
would have their buttons work under Linux?
