Sorry, isn't that what I did?
Well, I thought I had done that (as indicated above), but perhaps what I did and "let it get autodetected and configured by YAST" aren't exactly the same things. I log into the machine as root, run yast2, click on Hardware, then Scanners, and I see it run through an unattended checklist ending with "Detecting USB and SCSI scanners" after which it shows a line with "plustek Canon N1240U/LiDE30 at plustek:libusb:007:002".

Isn't that your scanner?
Yes. I have no problems whatsoever with SuSE recognizing and using the scanner, as long as the operations are performed as root. This isn't a hardware detection problem.
If I click Other ... Test I hear the hardware make some noises and a bunch of tests are listed and all marked as OK. If I then log
I assume you accepted yast proposal. :-?
I clicked 'Finish' if that's what you mean. Still doesn't allow ordinary users to use (or even detect) the scanner.
Linux is a moving target, and things change, sometimes a lot. If that script does not exist, it means that things are done diferently, by SuSE, or nowdays.
I think I understand that. What I need is to find out what I need to do differently than what I have done, which is essentially: 1. Install SuSE 10.2 using the defaults for a workstation 2. Install the updates to packages modified since 10.2 was released 3. Run YaST to configure the scanner as described above Cheers, -- Bob Kline http://www.rksystems.com mailto:bkline@rksystems.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
