Please see the "SETUP" section of
/usr/share/libsane1/doc/README.Debian.gz. You must either be logged into
a physical console on the system (not an SSH/VNC session) - or if you
want to bypass that requirement, you must add the user to the "scanner"
group. This is expected behavior.
(Adding the user to the "lp" group happens to work because your device
is also a printer - but that's technically not the right answer for
scanning.)
If this issue occurs when you are _physically_ logged in, please change
the status back to Confirmed.

Can not scan as user
Status in sane-backends package in Ubuntu:

# Description
I can not scan as user using software like simple-scan or xsane.
If I run xsane and simple-scan with sudo, I can use my scanner.
It seems to be a permission issue
# Step to reproduce

3. Start xsane or simple-scan with sudo
4. It works, you can scan
