Assuming you have kernel => 2.6 and you have hotplugging working... Look in /etc/hotplug/usb/ for libsane.usermap. If it's there then open it in an editor. There will be a list of commented-out scanner names. Under each one will be something like "libusbscanner" followed by a series of numbers. If you find something like this then there is probably a file in /etc/hotplug/usb called "libusbscanner". Open it in an editor and you'll see that it's just a script for changing the owner/group of a device from root to scanner. (see mine below) Exit the editors and ensure that libusbscanner is executable and owner and group are both root. Using something like Kuser create a group called scanner and assign yourself to it and any other user you allow to use the scanner. Now you should be able to scan as a non-root user.
Thanks! That worked a treat... Anton -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
