Carlos has been insisting that Yast can install the scanner. He was only partly correct. Yast can install the scanner if the *necessary files* are in the system. In this case, the necessary file was *not* in the system. An Epson scanner requires /etc/sane.d/epkowa. The epkowa file does not exist in the system as shipped. It exists in my TW system now, and it will exist in my Leap system when I get around to it. Copied from an old PCLOS laptop. Yast had no trouble finding the scanner at first try since I installed the necessary file, and XSane now scans perfectly. It took quite a bit of research to determine that this was the problem, but I finally decided to add the file, figuring it can't hurt if it doesn't work--it just wouldn't be accessed. Now to try and get the HP printer to work once again, and hope that it doesn't blow away the Epson all-mode. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
