We have a new Kyocera Ecosys M5526 MFP and I want to use it on my TW & Leap systems.
Kyocera offered Linux drivers which work well but I am having trouble with the scanner. Kyocera offered Linux drivers for the scanner and I have installed the rpm but I have not been able to make any connection to the device using Yast2.
I have the machine on a static IP but on a different subnet and can ping it and print from it without problems but no go with scanner. I had no problems with an HP device on the same subnet so I assume the firewall settings are OK but I would appreciate some help please.
The printer works fine but not the SANE driver. I think the problem may be filter related but cannot see what is missing in firewall configuration.
This may help:-

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

I have tried these earlier but no joy yet. I have now moved to my TW workstation as the office was closing and so have downloaded the driver and SANE packages as before but I have discovered that what worked on the Leap 15.5 machine has thrown up some issues with TW.
When I tried to install the openSUSE driver rpm I get the following message:-
alastair@HP-Z640-1:~/Downloads/KyoceraLinuxPackages-20240521/OpenSUSE/EU/kyodialog_x86_64> rpm -i --install kyodialog-9.4-0.x86_64.rpm

qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, xcb.
I really don’t know what to do with this. I am using X11 at present but could switch to Wayland on this machine if that is needed. Guidance would be appreciated please.
