Icon use fails with scanner not found; tried from Konsole—"no devices available" From years-ago: "In dll.conf, make sure that epson2.conf is uncommented" yes, I uncommented that a while ago for this reason. Also, in old PCLOS system, /sane.d/epson.conf line shows net autodiscovery (like in epson2.conf) but not in TW, so added line. Makes no difference. The instructions continued: "Sometimes xsane does not work out of the box and needs some other scan program to 'kickstart' it. It seems that this has to do with the lp (parallel port) module being loaded. Blacklist it (put the line blacklist lp in /etc/modprobe.d in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist) and remove it. (modprobe -r lp)." There is nothing resembling that in /etc/modprobe.d and I didn't mess with it. Need suggestions, please. --doug

Also, yast can't find a scanner, even tho it is a part of the Epson WP-4530 all-in-one (which I finally got working!) Is it turned on and connected?
