Went thru the above procedure, rmmod usblp,  plus changed libsane.usermap to 
include the cx6600 and its correct product ID. Also enabled epkowa in 
dll.conf and later tried with the usb 0x04b8 0x0813 added at the end of 
epkowa.conf. 

Still will not configure the scanner. restored my print capabliity, did not 
need to enable the queue. 

I noticed several things:
1. your iscan-1.17.0.1-0.1 installs iscan.usermap and iscan-devices 
in /usr/share/iscan 
2. I have nothing in /etc/hotplug except a file called blacklist and several 
rc files including one for usb. In the past the iscan usermap and 
iscan-devices were there.

I still get the same results. I did notice YaST see the scanner, will not 
configure it and it sees epkowa with no active scanner.

Also the YaSt-->hardware-->printer shows two Epson printers but will not let 
me delete the one not used. Both same model. Could this cause scanner 
problem, only one shows in lsusb -v and devices.

Questions:

1. should I have used isca-free?
2. is there supposed to be something in /etc/hotplug?

I su'd to root to run scanimage and still not scanner found. Is it possibly a 
hot plug issue? My canon camera comes on and works when I plug it into the 
usb post.

System is P3 866MHZ SuSE 10.0 boxed (direct from Novell)
512 MB Memory
2 80GB drives (Linux on one, XP on the other)
Grub dual boot
Just usb scanner and camera thru belkin expander. My internal USB is 1.0 
version, printer is a USB 2 device but worked fine under 9.1
