There are some scanners for which nothing will work, but being root. Nothing in the permissions you change for them work, because the driver simply needs direct access to the hardware, and is reserved to root. Or something like that. I don't know if that is your case, but that's why I asked what type of scanner you have and how is it connected. I think it is usb, isn't it? What I intended you to look at is this paragraph in one of the links: ] Alternatively you can use "saned" which is a service for scanning via ] network. On the server the saned is set up and launched via xinetd. On ] the client the "net" backend is used for scanning via network. See "man ] saned" and "man sane-net". By using the loopback network this can be ] used on the local host too. In this case server and client are the same ] machine "localhost". Some scanners (e.g. parallel port scanners) require ] root privileges. To access such a scanner as normal user on the local ] host you may set up the following: ] ] 1. Let the saned run as root (default in /etc/xinetd.d/sane-port) ] 2. Allow access from "localhost" in /etc/sane.d/saned.conf ] 3. Specify the server "localhost" in /etc/sane.d/net.conf ] 4. Activate the "net" backend in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf It is a roundabout way, certainly... - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
