All right, maybe I'll try this program from Epson, but ... there is still sane as a backend, as you said. The problem is, I have to configure the scanner manually. Then it does work, it must be declared as a 1650 Photo. The 'through-light' option is present immediately. As I've just seen on the list, I can easily turn off the HW scan on boot, which would uninstall the scanner. All right so far. But there is still something wrong, and that's the freezes which appear when I changed the scanner configuration. So I assume, that there is something nok with just taking the 1650 setup for a 1660. My suspicion is, that the next version of sane (hopefully) will cover the 1660. So, question, is there a SuSE maintainer in the 'people' subdirectory on the download sites who offers a 'bleeding edge' rpm or should one rather dig for source? I already found 1.0.9-pre1

Hi, Don't know if this is applicaible but it may be worth looking at /etc/hotplug/usb.distmap to see if there is an entry for the scanner. You need to match the product id of the scanner. In SuSE 8.0 I found I had to add an entry in this file so that xsane would detect my 1650 scanner on startup. All I did was insert a line in /etc/hotplug/usb.distmap with the same details as another epson scanner with the propper product id obtained from usbview.
