Help installing ScanJet 5100c flatbed scanner in opensuse 11.4

Hi All

I would like to ask help with the installation of my old HP Scanjet 5100C flatbed scanner onto Linux OS system Opensuse 11.4.

I googled for help an came across these links:

How to install HP ScanJet 5100C on SuSE Linux | laffers.net

and

HP ScanJet 5100C under Linux

I tried to follow it but cannot understand one part of the method this one:

Insert a new line near the line 1008 (in the list of export symbols)

EXPORT_SYMBOL(parport_get_port);

How do I edit the file that they want me to put this line in? This part has me stumped,I opened it with gedit but I cannot edit and save the file, How do I edit it so I can insert the above line in the EXPORT Symbols section?

Also I downloaded already the ppscsi-beta2-20060424.tar.gz file mentioned in the site and my question is how do I install these files through terminal?

Please help thanks.
