Don't know if this is in anyway connected to the above problem, but when I 
installed SUSE 8.1 I could not get Sane or Gimp to print, though no problem 
with Open Office, Kmail and so on.

I pressed lots of buttons with no luck.... mainly because I have no real in 
deapth knowledge of Linux yet. In the end I uninstalled CUPS and installed 
LPrng since then no problem in terms of printing in general but obviously 
losing out on the benifits of CUPS.

I have not followed up on this, but would be interested if there is something 
else I could have done to retain CUPS and print from Sane and Gimp
