Dear All, I am new to Suse 8 and liking it so far. I , also, use Linux Mandrake 9. Anyway, I had my unsupported scanner working with LM9 very nicely using the niash patch for sane. There was a special procedure to get this working for LM 9 and it finally worked very well. Now, I would like to get this working with Suse 8 and so far no luck since there are some differences between LM 9 and Suse 8. I am sure it would work in Suse 8, however, I am not sure exactly what I need to do. Is anyone using this scanner with Suse sucessfully using the niash testtool ? If anyone could help me step by step I would appreciate it greatly. The testtool and information come from this link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/hp3300backend/. Any suggestions or help will be appreciated. Thank you, Marcia
