@Ken Wright: For my scanner (Epson GT-S50 / epkowa driver), I added more in my udev rule file: > SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", MODE=="0666" > SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", MODE=="0666" > ATTRS{manufacturer}=="EPSON", DRIVERS=="usb", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", > ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="*", MODE="0666" > ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0137", MODE="0666", > GROUP="scanner", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
the last line is important, and is missing in the recommendations of comment #96, that is perhaps what is causing you trouble. NOTE: for your scanner, the line should read (cfr. #124): > ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0130", MODE="0666", > GROUP="scanner", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes" Hoping this will help.

But the scanner is no more recognized. Scanners that are affected are(besides others): - Epson Perfection V10 - Epson Perfection V1000 - Epson WorkForce GT-1500 - Brother MFC-8510DN - Epson Perfection V33 It is to note that the probability that the scanner manufacturers fix things others broke is below 100%.
