Canon MP540 and libusb

I solved (or rather bypassed) the problem with missing libgimp2 by downloading and installing libgimp2 for 386 manually.

Download drivers from Ubuntu -- Package Download Selection -- libgimp2.0_2.2.11-1ubuntu3.4_i386.deb

and then:

sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture libgimp2.0_2.2.11-1ubuntu3.4_i386.deb

ScanGear throws errors and warnings on run:/ but it starts and seems to work.

One note - I have done this on other distro than Suse, but I think it doesn't matter in this case.

Oh, ****, there is no edit option and I've done a terrible mistake above.

You can't just install 386 version, because it will cause dependencies failure in the future.

Instead I've done this and it works as well:

sudo dpkg-deb -x libgimp2.0_2.2.11-1ubuntu3.4_i386.deb 386
cd 386/usr/lib
sudo cp * /usr/lib32

Of course this is Ubuntu solution, but I guess under Suse it will work similarly.
