If you have the scanner kernel module loaded (scanner), then there should be a file like /dev/usbscanner0, /dev/scanner0 or /dev/usb/scanner0 and scanimage should be able to open it without further configuration. Perhaps there is something weird with the Suse scanner kernel module. Do you see any message in /var/log/messages or dmesg when plugging in the scanner or when loading the scanner kernel module? Perhaps your libusb is a very old version. There was an issue with a very old version of libusb (i think it was 0.1.3). The device name in niash.conf currently does not have any effect. Bertrik
