If you did a standard installation, the Gimp-Print driver was installed by default (packages libgimpprint and cups-drivers-stp). Simply use YaST, the RX620 should be autodetected as USB printer, select in YaST the model RX600, perhaps you may have to use the [Edit] button to choose another PPD file and/or another model and then do the test-print in YaST.
Good news: IT WORKS! Yeehaa! Took me about 30 seconds to set it up. Quality looks pretty good and printout almost exactly covers the entire page. Bad news: On the Avasys front, adding the symlink caused rastertopips to burst into life. But now it says: E [04/Jan/2006:20:18:32 +0000] PID 28499 stopped with status 1! D [04/Jan/2006:20:18:32 +0000] [Job 17] PPD file is broken. Cannot get option of PIPS.START 0 1584392 268444 1305920 20148 true 515 3 <0> I discovered cupstestppd (which doesn't seem to be documented?) and it says the PPD is valid (after a couple of what look like insignificant changes to me). So I guess I'll have to add some printfs to rastertopips to find out what it really thinks is wrong. But that seems less important than getting the scanner working now :) Big Thanks for your help Johannes! Dave
