Hello Dieter, I recently installed an HP ScanJet 5p on my father's computer (OpenSuSE 11.0). It's also a SCSI model. I don't have the lshal output at hand (but I could get it by next week, if you're still interested). This being said, I do remember that this scanner also identified itself as a "processor" (not specifically in the lshal output, though). Now, I could get this scanner to work perfectly by simply following the good advice given by Yast, i.e. to enable "network scan" and to create a "localhost configuration" (all of this is done through Yast | Hardware | Scanner, then click the "Other" button in the lower right corner). Once done, Kooka saw the scanner and used it without problem. HTH Cheers. Bye. Ph. A. Dieter Jurzitza wrote:

Dear listmembers, currently I am trying to force openSUSE 11.1 to cooperate again correctly with SCSI-scanners.

Therefore my call: whoever is willing and whoever owns a SCSI scanner / is using a SCSI scanner (even better if you own different ones) please:

lshal > out

and send that to me. Whoever thinks he is supplying too much private information (_seriously_ I am not planning anything bad :-) ) may delete everything what has nothing to do with a scanner. I am really only interested in the scanner as such. The corresponding part of "out" looks as follows on my side:

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_9004_8178_scsi_host_scsi_device_lun0_0' info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_9004_8178_scsi_host' (string) info.product = 'SCSI Device' (string) info.subsystem = 'scsi' (string) info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_9004_8178_scsi_host_scsi_device_lun0_0' (string) linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) (int) linux.subsystem = 'scsi' (string) linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.4/0000:03:05.0/host6/target6:0:6/6:0:6:0' (string) scsi.bus = 0 (0x0) (int) scsi.host = 6 (0x6) (int) scsi.lun = 0 (0x0) (int) scsi.model = 'C7670A' (string) scsi.target = 6 (0x6) (int) scsi.type = 'processor' (string) scsi.vendor = 'HP' (string)

Of real interest for me are only two lines here: "scsi.type", on my side the entry "processor", I expect to see "scanner" in most cases. Whoever finds another "processor" with a model name that differs from mine (scsi.model) or who owns a scanner that announces himself neither as "scanner" nor as "processor" is of greatest interest for me. For those specific devices exceptions have to be inserted into the corresponding file.

Thank you very much in advance, please send the data via email to dieter<dot>jurzitza<at>t<dash>online<dot>de

P.S. Nothing to be gained here, I've got nothing to offer but a thank you :-) Till then,

Dieter
