Does Yast recognise your scanner model?
Yes, it does. It apparently sets up fine, and even tests OK, but when you try to access it via xsane:
Failed to start scanner. Error during device I/O.
But Sid's vuescan and SuSE 8.2 and 9.0 don't find anything wrong with the i/o.
I've used the newly updated YaST scanner setup module, still no go.
If not, I suggest you start looking at the hotplug usb tables to make sure your scanner has an entry. /etc/hotplug/usb/sane-hardcoded.usermap
Well - what's it supposed to look like? Mine reads:
more /etc/hotplug/usb/sane-hardcoded.usermap desktopdev 0x0003 0x03f0 0x0101 0x0000 0x0000 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x0
I think there was an update to Yast for the scanners in the last 24 hrs, have you checked with YOU for the latest updates? I just did a little bit of investigation. Your scanner Epson 610 is in the sane-hardcoded.usermap file. Vendor 0x04B8 Model 0x0103 as per the details found here http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=1120 So it should work. Check with YAST--> Hardware --> hardware to see if it is being detected in the USB devices. The main Sane page for Epson is here http://www.freecolormanagement.com/sane/index.html You can get the Epson backend drivers from http://www.epkowa.co.jp/english/linux_e/index.html I have never tried/used these drivers as I always found that the Sane ones work. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
