I also have an Scanjet 5100c installed on Suse Linux 10, but on 32bit.
I also tried to do the same configuration and didn't work. These steps that i discovered solved the problem to me:
1. Unpack the last version of ppscsi;
2. On the ppscsi paste use the command: make
3. after then use the comand: insmod ppscsi.ko
4. install this one: insmod epst.ko
5. if u have the parport installed, that comes with the Suse, activate him with: modprobe parport_pc
6. Run the xsane program on the console.
Hi Jeff,
I am sorry that I did not respond to you sooner, I have been in and out of town on business. I have just downloaded the Suse 10.0 I386 version and I will install and try and work through your instructions. The only question that I have at the moment is in the second step. "2. On the ppscsi paste use the command: make". I am not sure what you mean, would you clarify please?
Thanks for the help, at least I know that the HP5100C will work with Suse.
