Hi fellows, I am sorry to be late getting back to you. I have been trying those things suggested in response to the request: "9.3, usb, scanners" and reading the recommended documentation and making trials. but no luck anywhere. The results of my efforts are within.

Did you issue "lppasswd -a root"?.
No, since it is only me who uses this machine,

If you were expecting something ... snip> I'm getting the same here and I've been at it for a couple of hours, without getting it to work, I may try building xscanimage and see if that will do it. As always, vuescan from http://www.hamrick.com automatically finds and is able to use the scanner without any need for configuration. Sorry, what is xscanimage? Should I have it? lsmod|grep usblp produces: usblp 13568 0 usbcore 113520 7 usbserial,hid,usblp,ehci_hdc,uhci_hcd
my /dev contains: /dev/scanners/cuecat
That's always there, presumably for if you have a cuecat.
am I supposed to have a matching entry in my /media directory as I have for other usb devices?
My /media is empty as I haven't got anything mounted, it's only for mounted devices like floppies and CD's.
As I expected.
what is udev ?
udev builds devices in /dev whenever you boot up.
Thanks Sid.
Yast detects and installs my hp 6110 scanner.
YaST says it's configuring drivers for it, but doesn't detect my scanner.
Different behaviour for different brands or different users???
But then The GIMP says "No devices available"
should I have an entry in fstab?
/etc/fstab is OK.
The quoted reference: http://www.avasys.jp/cgi-bin/lx/bbs/en/scanner-bbs/hyperbbs.cgi?mode=view ;Code=72 says that I should have an entry /etc/hotplug/usb/libusbscanner script I have the directory(s), but no script.
Same here.
I went into Yast to try to re-install the printer and the scanner but am presented with a lot of jargon It recognises the scanner and applies the SANE driver: hpoj It then offers me a test button, but that fails. Then Yast says it is installed and Connected to PTAL (But it isn't)
YaST doesn't even see mine.
Yast auto-detects the correct printer. If I try to connect directly via usb the test printer fails, if I try CUPS I have the choice of CUPS client only (which I chose) or networked. This asked for the server's name - what is that? I gave it the name of my machine - which hung Yast. (The promised time-out didn't) On re-visiting Yast the system says it is connected to /dev/usb/lp0 The offered printer test fails.
No errors under /var/log/cups/ ?

since it is a stand-alone machine, my machine is the server for CUPS -
yes it is.
Your server name should be what your local machine is called rather than the ISP's as you are setting up the machine as a firewall for any other boxes on the LAN.
How do I change it back? Sid, I think it was you who told me how to change it back, but I cannot find the method :-) Anyway, I don't remember what it was! Can I change it to anything I fancy without upsetting other things?
Thanks for all your efforts. Regards, Colin
It's quite frustrating, for the printer, all I can think of at present is to have another go at "lppasswd -a root".
Change to? Can I use this to remove any password? How? man and info discuss removing users, and I see how to change the passwd, but not how to totally remove any requirement for a password. :-) :
On the scanner, all seems to be as it should be, but it's not working for "scanimage -L" or xsane, but is fine with vuescan. Hmmmmmmm.... after running vuescan, kooka now finds my scanner with the epson setup in YaST. barrabas:/ftp/May05 # scanimage -L device `epson:libusb:002:009' is a Epson Perfection610 flatbed scanner
For vuesca82.tgz .... # mkdir /usr/local/vuescan # cd /usr/local/vuescan # tar zxfv vuescan82.tgz in that directory, then # ln -s /usr/local/vuescan/vuescan /usr/local/bin/ # vuescan Regards Sid.
I looked at your vuescan site. Looks interesting, but I don't feel inclined to get into paying for a scanning prog while I can't even get this thing going. Regards, and many thanks. Colin
