Hi fellows, I am sorry to be late getting back to you. I have been trying those things suggested in response to the request: "9.3, usb, scanners" and reading the recommended documentation and making trials. but no luck anywhere. The results of my efforts are within.

Did you issue "lppasswd -a root"?.
Does it show up with "lsusb"?.
lsusb produces the following:

sane-find-scanner produces the following (plus irrelevant lines): found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [Hewlett-Packard], product=0x2d11 [OfficeJet 6100 Series]) at libusb:002:003
scanimage -L produces the following output: No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
I'm getting the same here and I've been at it for a couple of hours, without getting it to work, I may try building xscanimage and see if that will do it. As always, vuescan from http://www.hamrick.com automatically finds and is able to use the scanner without any need for configuration.
Check the module is loaded.
lsmod|grep usblp produces: usblp 13568 0 usbcore 113520 7 usbserial,hid,usblp,ehci_hdc,uhci_hcd
my /dev contains: /dev/scanners/cuecat
That's always there, presumably for if you have a cuecat.
am I supposed to have a matching entry in my /media directory as I have for other usb devices?
My /media is empty as I haven't got anything mounted, it's only for mounted devices like floppies and CD's.
what is udev ?
udev builds devices in /dev whenever you boot up.
Yast detects and installs my hp 6110 scanner.
YaST says it's configuring drivers for it, but doesn't detect my scanner.
But then The GIMP says "No devices available"
should I have an entry in fstab? The only usb entry I have in fstab is: usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
/etc/fstab is OK.
The quoted reference: http://www.avasys.jp/cgi-bin/lx/bbs/en/scanner-bbs/hyperbbs.cgi?mode=view;Co... says that I should have an entry /etc/hotplug/usb/libusbscanner script I have the directory(s), but no script.
Same here.
I went into Yast to try to re-install the printer and the scanner but am presented with a lot of jargon It recognises the scanner and applies the SANE driver: hpoj It then offers me a test button, but that fails. Then Yast says it is installed and Connected to PTAL (But it isn't)
YaST doesn't even see mine.
Yast auto-detects the correct printer. If I try to connect directly via usb the test printer fails, if I try CUPS I have the choice of CUPS client only (which I chose) or networked. This asked for the server's name - what is that? I gave it the name of my machine - which hung Yast. (The promised time-out didn't) On re-visiting Yast the system says it is connected to /dev/usb/lp0 The offered printer test fails.
No errors under /var/log/cups/ ?
Part of my confusion might be in not understanding the jargon: since it is a stand-alone machine, my machine is the server for CUPS - right? yes it is.
I have asked this before, and am embarrassed to ask it again: When I set up my ADSL I was prompted for something like "Server name" and I gave my ISP name, which now appears in my root prompt. How do I change it back? Sid, I think it was you who told me how to change it back, but I cannot find the method :-)
Your server name should be what your local machine is called rather than the ISP's as you are setting up the machine as a firewall for any other boxes on the LAN.
I am sorry that this is so complex. Thanks for all your efforts. Regards, Colin
It's quite frustrating, for the printer, all I can think of at present is to have another go at "lppasswd -a root". On the scanner, all seems to be as it should be, but it's not working for "scanimage -L" or xsane, but is fine with vuescan. Hmmmmmmm.... after running vuescan, kooka now finds my scanner with the epson setup in YaST. barrabas:/ftp/May05 # scanimage -L device `epson:libusb:002:009' is a Epson Perfection610 flatbed scanner For vuesca82.tgz .... # mkdir /usr/local/vuescan # cd /usr/local/vuescan # tar zxfv vuescan82.tgz in that directory, then # ln -s /usr/local/vuescan/vuescan /usr/local/bin/ # vuescan Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
