Hello, I have Mandriva 2007 with an HP Photosmart C3180 All-in-One device. The printer part works well (with the HP drivers) I would like to use the scanner function with Xsane (I tried it on Ubuntu and it worked), but it only works as root. With normal user the device is not detected.
Even scanimage fails as a normal user: renan@wizard:~$ scanimage -L No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages). But with root it work: renan@wizard:~$ su Senha: [root@wizard renan]# scanimage -L device `hpaio:/usb/Photosmart_C3100_series?serial=BR6BIGN0NR04KV' is a hp Photosmart_C3100_series multi-function peripheral I think it might be a permission problem. If so, what files should I change permission/ownership of? Thanks! Renan Birck -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
