    As I wrote in my other mail, Scanjet 5300C is normally supported by Sane even
    if it is maybe not straightforward. If Yast does not mention the scanner it is
    probably because your version of SuSE does not have the latest version of
    Sane. It happened already to me. Thus download the latest source file of
    Sane-backend and compile it. The sane source files compile without problem in
    SuSE.

    The only problem I had was with xsane, the graphical interface to use with
    Gimp. I wanted to install the SuSE package but Yast insisted to install its own
    outdated version of Sane. That was before I knew that checkinstall existed.

    Good Luck,
