Oops…
Not seen.
All good. It appears that the package did not install properly for the OP. I found that the scand service was inactive (after boot), but restarting it subsequently yielded…
sudo systemctl status okiscand.service

Dec 27 08:53:37 linux-4k1z okiscand[3638]: ** WARNING(3638:7f6b6d897840) [configuration] ** load error. (path=/usr/libexec/okimfpdrv/device.conf) [errno=2, No such file or directory]
and in the KDE system tray I have ‘okimfpaytray’ (graphical user interface) running.
load error. (path=/usr/libexec/okimfpdrv/device.conf) [errno=2, No such file or directory]
Maybe this is an issue between device.conf and driver.conf?
I would try to make an symlink by:
ln -s /usr/libexec/okimfpdrv/driver.conf /usr/libexec/okimfpdrv/device.conf
No, I dont think those files are related. In any case, just creating a file with
touch /usr/libexec/okimfpdrv/device.conf
and restarting the service was enough for that error to disappear. I don’t have the hardware to test, but it otherwise appears to be ready to serve on my system.
I needed my scanner urgently, so I have uninstalled OpenSuse and installed Fedora Workstation, on which the oki rpm package worked perfectly. I want to thank you very much for your help.
