I have this scanner and couldn't get working properly with 9.3 or 10, though
it worked perfectly with 9.0 and 9.1. Something isn't right about the changes
that were made to scanner handling, which went backwards as far as I'm
concerned. By all means go over the files and resources Johannes suggests to
see if you can get it working, and if you can please post your fix.

If you can't get it running and it matters to you enough, though, I would try
the trial version of Vuescan from www.hamrick.com and consider buying it if
it works for you. It solved all my scanner problems, but you have to pay for
the non-trial version. Whatever oddities are said to exist in our various USB
setups that prevent the standard SuSE tools working with this scanner,
Vuescan seems to be able to overcome them without difficulty.

Good luck
Fergus
