The Sane packages of SuSE are generally outdated for new scanners or unfit for old scanners (your case) --> download sane tarballs. I used the Sane tarballs of sane-backends without problems with SuSE-7.3 and SuSE-8.1 (just patience) http://panda.mostang.com/sane/ ==> download ==> old versions Download sane-backends-1.0.10 tarball Then ./configure - make - make install Tame yast2 not to insist to reinstall its unworkable version (after deleting it of course). Keep the xsane graphical interface package of SuSE-8.2 for use with Gimp. Good luck -- Alain Barthélemy cassandre@bartydeux.be http://www.bartydeux.be Linux User #315631

How about ./configure, make, checkinstall - does make install and converts to rpm so the data base can track it and an rpm -e gets rid of it when need be. Works great for me so far. That what YaST doesn't complain.
