I have been using saned for networking scanners on slackware for 3 or so years with hpoj and a hp-psc2355 but recently upgraded the server box to slack-12.1 and decided to not use hpoj as its a bit old.
I set up as usually with permissions, /etc/services, /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/sane.d config files on both server and clients. I could scan as a user in an ssh session on the server but could not do so as client. I finally figured out that the permissions being set up were defined in /etc/udev/rules.d/55-hpumd.rules and not in 80-libsane.rules. The device belonged to root:lp and in order to allow users to scan I had to change permissions from 0664 to 0666 in the rule. I suppose the alternative would be to make the users members of lp but I've never heard of users being members of lp before. What is correct in this situation? -- Cheers, Rick Miles Movement stopped is no movement, and rest set in motion is no rest.
