Sacnner not detected

[FlameBait]

My situation is My HP Desk Jet J4500 all in one printer/fax/sanner was detected in openSuSE 11.1 on the previous computer it was connected to. I worked perfectly. On this new machine running openSuSE 11.1 only the Printer and fax are properly detected. The Scanner shows up in the scanner configuration in YAST2 but doesn’t allow me to edit it. It says “not configured” in the Scanner Configuration" application.

Any Ideas on how to make this work. I tried deleting and re-detecting the printer but ended up with the same result.

Hi
As root user run the command hp-setup, then as user use the hp-tool box
utility to start the scan.
