I am interested in this particular problem.

When YaST does "Detect USB and SCSI scanners" it runs the script
/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/autodetect_scanners

Basically /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/autodetect_scanners runs
"sane-find-scanner -q" in the background and waits 10 seconds
that it finished and if not it kills it.
Therefore from my point of view it cannot happen that YaST
hangs for ever at "Detect USB and SCSI scanners".

What does "sane-find-scanner -q" result on your system?

Usually it should result nothing because scanners in HP all-in-one
devices cannot be detected with sane-find-scanner (see the YaST
help text).
If "sane-find-scanner -q" results something on your system,
please post the result on this mailing list.

Could you activate the 'set -x' line (i.e. remove the '#' character
from the '#set -x' line) in /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/autodetect_scanners
and then run it as root as follows:

/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/autodetect_scanners &>/tmp/autodetect_scanners.out

Then post the content of /tmp/autodetect_scanners.out
on this mailing list.


Kind Regards
