[sane-devel] can only scan as root
I thought all the modern distros have got the group named 'scandev', which is granted the access to the scanner devices? The slackware has got it (it might be named a bit differently on your distro). You just add your username into the group , and re-login. -Yury

This only works if the system knows that the device is a scanner. If your device is newer than the udev rules or hal fdi files your system uses, then it cannot manage the permissions. allan On Fri, Feb 4, 2011 at 3:20 PM, Yury Tarasievich yury.tarasievich at gmail.com wrote: I thought all the modern distros have got the group named 'scandev', which is granted the access to the ?scanner devices?

[sane-devel] can only scan as root
I found some instructions to get a Canon LiDE 200 scanner working on Lucid.
http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1161276page=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
