Scanner setup, hiccup. Epson GT7000s OpenSuse 13.2

Hi All I have a SCSI scanner which normally "just works" under Linux. I have just loaded a fresh OpenSuse 13.2 (64bit) OS. The scanner is found in lspci and also in the hardware detection in Suse. For some reason XSANE cannot see it. When using the scanner setup tool in the YAST , it identifies the scanner but reports that the driver is not configured. The driver should be the sane-epson2. What am I missing, please? Andrew Greig
