FYI.... I sent an email earlier saying I was having similar problems with a SCSI scanner... and SuSE 8.0. I went to the SuSE knowledge base and searched on 'sane' and came up with: http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/pohletz_xsane_noscanner.html which described some minor changes that could be made in /etc/sane.d/xxxxxx files. Cured my problem.......... scanner is now recognized. > I do a modprobe epst and modprobe ppscsi.
