I tried 2 pcs and 2 USB-cables, so the chance that there is a hardware
problem with the scanner, is high.

So, if I could choose the 8800F driver, it should work? I mean, I can
scan with 150dpi?

Thanks. I will ask at Opensuse, how often updates are generally done.

rpm -qa | grep -i sane
xsane-0.997-11.1.i586
sane-backends-1.0.20-8.3.i586
sane-backends-autoconfig-1.0.20-8.3.i586

So, I have to search for a repo with newer packages for Opensuse.
