Why do you click on "other" when the detected scanner is shown?
Desperation. That's something I did only after the standard sequence
(invoke YaST, select Hardware, click Scanner, watch it detect the
scanner, click Edit, click Next, click Finish), left me unable to use
the scanner as a normal user. I tried that sequence a couple of times,
and then wondered if perhaps I had missed some step, so I started
looking at things like the Other button.
Highlight the detected scanner and click on next/finish whichever the
choice is. By clicking on "other" you tell YaST that the detected
scanner is _not_ correct and you will manually select the correct
scanner.
Actually, the instructions in the left panel of YaST say "if there are
unexpected results, try Other and Restart Detection." Was I wrong to
consider the inability to get to the scanner as a normal user as
"unexpected results"?
Or did I miss that the detected scanner is not the correct one?
Once again, SuSE identifies the scanner perfectly. This is not a
hardware detection problem. It's a permissions problem. I can scan as
root. I can't scan as a normal user. I don't want the users of the
machine to log on as root. I don't want them to ask me to log on as
root every time they need something scanned.
