Maybe it's time for an Epson scanner?
No, it's time for Windows again. Sad, but true. I need this scanner so urgently, there's no other way. I have been using Linux more than 12 years as mail/newsserver, so I'm not quite new. Sad that it always stays behind Windows when it comes to functionality.
Open YaST and then the scanner module (shell shortcut: "yast2 scanner" :-) and you will see the list of supported and unsupported scanners (if you "Add" one). Unknown scanners (= not in the list) are likely to be too new and might therefore not work.
The scanner is recognized perfectly and did work with earlier Linux systems, for ex. suse 9.0.
I'm not working on scanners for SUSE, and I don't posses a Canon N670U neither. So I'm not able to give you any hints here. But I think, as this model is being listed as supported, you should open a new bugzilla and report this issue back to our package maintainer.
Yes, I'll do that. It's a little bit strange after so many reports which describe the same bug, that nobody has already fixed it. Do a search with Lide20 or N670U, linux and problems combinated, you will find at least 100 reports.
He might be able to help you, or get information back that this kind of hardware is not working.
It's a sane issue. This bug should be fixed in the latest cvs, i did try, the bug is no longer present, but now my scanner doesn't work any longer either. Scanimage finds it, xsane does not. Maybe can the suse maintainer soon create an update which adresses the problem, I'm not quite sure if I did install the cvs version correctly. The architecture opensuse-amd64 uses is quite different from what's defined in the makefile.
