Why do you click on "other" when the detected scanner is shown?
Desperation. That's something I did only after the standard sequence (invoke YaST, select Hardware, click Scanner, watch it detect the scanner, click Edit, click Next, click Finish), left me unable to use the scanner as a normal user. I tried that sequence a couple of times, and then wondered if perhaps I had missed some step, so I started looking at things like the Other button.
Highlight the detected scanner and click on next/finish whichever the choice is. By clicking on "other" you tell YaST that the detected scanner is _not_ correct and you will manually select the correct scanner.
Actually, the instructions in the left panel of YaST say "if there are unexpected results, try Other and Restart Detection." Was I wrong to consider the inability to get to the scanner as a normal user as "unexpected results"?
Or did I miss that the detected scanner is not the correct one?
Once again, SuSE identifies the scanner perfectly. This is not a hardware detection problem. It's a permissions problem. I can scan as root. I can't scan as a normal user. I don't want the users of the machine to log on as root. I don't want them to ask me to log on as root every time they need something scanned. -- 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
