Problem Configuring Canon Scanner FB630P on Suse 9.3 using YaST


I'm a Linux Newbie and I'm having a bit of a problem with setting up my scanner.

Scanner: Canon FB630P
Distro: Suse Linux 9.3
Kernel: linux 2.6.11.4-20a-default

Using YaST, I tried to configure my scanner but it does not seem to work.

In YaST, Hardware, I selected Scanner. It is not autodetected so I proceeded to manually configure. I selected Configure, picked Scanner Model and Driver - Canon CanoScan FB630P: Driver 'canon_pp'(package 'sane')
Clicked on Next,YaST displays "Setting up canon_pp...", then Next button becomes enabled but "Setting up canon_pp..." remains displayed.
Clicked on Next, it displays next screen with the following:
Configuration Summary:
Active Scanners: CANON FB630P at canon_pparport0
Active Drivers: (blank)

I tested it:
scanimage
scanimage: no SANE devices found

Kooka of course won't get any.

I'm fairly new to Linux so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Gali

I dont know if this will help or not, but I had a similar problem with kookla, and discovered that typing 'iscan' at a terminal window worked just fine(anoher program I liked better anyway came up).

sleekmason, it did not work for me but thanks for taking time to reply.

One thing I noticed, this file is missing /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-canon_pp.a

which according to this guide...
http://www.sane-project.org/man/sane-canon_pp.5.html

...i should have the following in my system...

/usr/local/etc/sane.d/canon_pp.conf
/usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-canon_pp.a
/usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-canon_pp.so

should this be the one to fix?
