I think Yast doesn't find SANE because you don't have SANE RPMs installed. The paths shouldn't matter in this case. > BTW, I launched sane-find-scanner which did not find any scanner. > With the default SUSE 8,0 configuration with SANE 1.0.7-59 > sane-find-scanner finds my scanner as it should be. If sane-find-scanner doesn't find scanners it's usually either a kernel or permission issue. You should make sure that the kernel scanner driver module is loaded and detects your scanner. Have a look at /proc/bus/usb/devices, ther should be a line with "driver=usbscanner". If it's "driver=(none)", the scanner driver hasn't found the scanner. See man sane-usb for details, also for permission problems. Bye, Henning
