Adding user peter to group scanner Done. With no additional fuss, Xsane and the quiteinsane pluggin in gimp both find the scanner. Strikes me as odd that most user applications and resources are available painlessly while a few need root to put the user in a group. More odd that scanner membership wasn't needed in Squeeze or I was removed from the scanner group in the grade from Squeeze to Wheezy. Is a previously ignored policy being enforced in Wheezy? Thanks for the feedback, ...
