Hello,
I used to scan pictures through Gimp under SuSE 10.2, using the
“acquire” option in the file menu. Having now moved to SuSE 11.0 and
installed Gimp 2.6.3, I no longer find this option where it used to be.
Has it moved? changed name? disappeared? any clue would be welcome.

Go to File / Create / xscan image.
Is your scanner installed?

File → Create → Xane: Device dialog.

I don’t appear to have xscan under file -> create, but I have now
remembered how I solved this last time around. If anyone is interested
here is the explanation:
My scanner is part of an all-in-one printer (Canon PIXMA MP210). As
such it is not recognized by SuSe as a separate scanning device (I did
try to install it).
I have a scangear rpm from Canon (only available at ‘Canon Australia -
Home’ (http://www.canon.com.au), if anyone is interested), which I
installed without difficulty. This gives access to a “ScanGear MP”
option under file -> create.
However, due to group permissions this will only activate the software
if you are logged in as root. As any other user I get the message:
Cannot find Canon MFP scanner device
At least I can now scan.
Thanks for the help!
