12.1: Gimp limps without a scanner.

English Applications
1

I installed my scanner successfully but Gimp [2.6.11] doesn’t recognise that
I have one. AcquireImages and Skanlite both can see it.

Anyone else seeing this problem?

Gimp works with xsane

I have gimp 2.6.11 installed (with openSUSE 11.4, 64-bit), and scanning does work for me via
File > Create > Xsane: Device dialog…

I usually just start xsane from a terminal.

FWIW, packages installed:

# rpm -qa |grep gimp
gimp-help-browser-2.6.11-13.18.1.x86_64
libgimp-2_0-0-2.6.11-13.18.1.x86_64

Checked Yast and found Xsane hadn’t been installed. Looks like the bug
(new feature?) is that Xsane is not installed automatically with 12.1.

Thanks, Deano.
