After I did the things you mentioned, I used YAST to configure the scanner. Did you check the permissions of /dev/si1 ? Is it now correct? I tried sg* earlier, and apparently that didn't work. As I have two scanners, I changed permissions on sg0 and sg1 separately to 777. Then it worked. -- Frits Wüthrich
