Why is YaST not showing it to me?
YaST shows you what there is in the SANE *.desc description files, see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_Scanners
I read that page long ago, and a hard copy of it is sitting on my desk throughout the current configuration exercise. I confess that I fell into the trap of trusting what YaST was showing me; I've leearned now yet another lesson. I must repeat, however, that I have installed this 640U scanner with every oS installation on every computer, and have never had this problem before. In addition to the lack of "magic" that you mention, something has changed since the last time I configured the scanner. My guess is that the epson2 scanner used to work and that its current release is faulty, as per the bug report that I found and reported here a few days ago. Anyway, thanks for confronting me with reality.
YaST uses the SANE *.desc description files as authoritative source of information.
YaST does not and cannot have any kind of magic "better" knowledge which drivers work in which way for which models than what is listed in the SANE *.desc description files.
