If I run xsane or xscanimage, they can't find the scanner. So I have set it up with YAST (installation didn't find it!). If I run xsane as a user, it still can't find the scanner. However, using a terminal and ignoring all the error messages, if I run xsane as ROOT, it runs and scans. After that, I can run it as a user until I shut down the computer. When I start the computer again, I have to run xsane as ROOT again before I can run it as a user. Very frustrating!
Check the suse data base for this one. THere was a bug in 9.0 with 'losing' the scanner and it may still be there since you did an upgrade... The fix is really simple.... A symbolic link.
Fixed my problem with it on 9.0.
Bruce, All the entries in the database refer to older versions. There's none for 9.1. As I have had no scanner trouble with 9.0, I didn't follow up any of the advice there. However, if no one comes up with a definite solution, I'll try things from the database. Cheers Keith
