I’m using openSUSE 12.2 and trying to install the drivers for HP ScanJet G2410 scanner.
I went to :: ELCOT ::](http://elcot.in/linuxdrivers_download.php) and installed following their instructions. When I get to testing if it’s installed with “scanimage -L” it’s not found. I then edited /etc/sane.d/dll.conf and added hp2400. Reboot but still not found.

So what else do I need to do to get this scanner working with openSUSE?
AFAIK you need the hplip packages to be installed, they contain the drivers for HP printers and scanners (hplip-hpijs hplip-sane)
Sorry. They were already installed. Anything else?
Try using the Yast scanner module, it will at least tell you if the thing is supported or not
It finds the scanner but says at the front that it is “Not Configured”. So how to configure it?
Can anyone take this any further? How to configure this “Not Configured” scanner?

I note right back at your first post you mentioned that you had ‘edited /etc/sane.d/dll.conf and added hp2400’. The HP2400C uses the ‘genesys’ backend, so uncomment it in dll.conf
#fujitsu
#gphoto2
genesys
#gt68xx
#hp
#hp3900

I’ve had a look at the /etc/sane.d/genesys.conf file and your chipset is included, so it should work okay from what I’ve read online.
OK. That got the scanner recognized in Both XSane & ScanLite as well as on Yast Config Scanner which shows genesis as the driver for this scanner. But unfortunately both XSane and ScanLite only show many vertical lines when scanning a document? Does anyone have any idea how to fix that?
I don’t have the definitive answer to that, since it could be a potential driver (incompatibility) issue, or it could be due to configuration settings applied by those scanning utilities. For example, I have had strange issues with xsane when connected to a HP4200 device, and found that simple-scan behaved well for me. Might be worth a try
This old discussion may interest you:
[sane-devel] HP ScanJet G2410](http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2011-January/027998.html)
Hello, the G2410 is a slightly modified HP2400, so could be supported by the genesys backend since it is based on a GL646. Only some resolution are working, what is left is to add the missing ones and tune calibration. In my opinion, there is no much coding needed (only adding entries in some built-in tables) and much testing left. Over the past 2 years, this subject came quite often. You can find in the archives of the list several mails about the work left, and how I think it could be done. Basically it consists in studying how the scanner works under windows through USB activity recording, then use these data to adapt code in genesys_gl646.c Regards, Stef
I’m hoping that using ‘simple-scan’ will allow you to experiment with resolution to get a working capture…
I installed simple-scan. OK. That worked 
I’ll try the other scanners again.
XSane & ScanLite still only producing colored vertical lines. But at least I’ve got the scanning working with simple-scan Thank you.
Thanks for the update. I’m glad this app worked for you, as it does for me.
FWIW, xsane, skanlite, and scanimage work for me (with my HP4200 device), but upon completing the scan and saving, I find these apps ‘hammer’ the scanning head into the reset position, as a Debian user described here:
#283442 - hp4200 backend attempts to wreck hp4200C scanner - Debian Bug report logs](http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=283442)
It looks like an application issue, rather than a driver one.
