I dont use SUSE, but I can make some educated guesses about their system: 1. install the libusb-devel package from suse. I assume yast can do this?
2. as root, remove parts of existing sane rm -rf /usr/lib/sane rm -f /usr/lib/libsane* rm -rf /etc/sane.d 3. as non-root: download sane backends snapshot from: http://www.sane-project.org/snapshots/ 4. tar xzf sane-backends-VERSION.tar.gz (replace VERSION with that of the file you downloaded) 5. cd sane-backends 6. ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --disable-locking 7. make 8. as root, in the same directory: make install 9. Then run 'scanimage -L' as root with the scanner plugged in and turned on, and lets see if it shows up. allan On Sun, Feb 22, 2009 at 2:34 PM, Peter Hoyer <peter.hoyer at gmx.de> wrote: > Am Sunday 22 February 2009 18:51:08 schrieben Sie: >> it is supported, upgrade to sane cvs. >> >> http://www.sane-project.org/lists/sane-backends-cvs.html#S-HP3900 >> > > I am more or less a beginner with linux.
