I found some instructions to get a Canon LiDE 200 scanner working on Lucid.
http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1161276&page=2 It has
sorted
of worked. I have everything installed and if I run xsane or simple-scan as
root
it will run, but as a user it fails to detect a scanner. The solutions I have
found online say to add users to saned and scanner groups. I added the users to
saned, but I don't have a scanner group. I aslo found instructions that
suggested you do the following add a new file as
/etc/udev/rules.d/40-scanner-permissions.rules with the following contents #
usb
scanner SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", MODE:="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device",MODE:="0666" I did this as well and rebooted but I
still
can not scan except as root. If I run scanimage -L It says no scanners were
identified. However if I run sudo scanimage -L It says device
'genesys:libusb:002:003' Is a canon LiDE Flatbed Scanner. The computer is
running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Any ideas on how I can get the scanner to work
without
running it as root? Thank you so much for any help you can give me to get this
to work properly. Linda
