This looks like the default libsane.rules file that comes with the version of sane that I downloaded. I checked that it contained the right information for my scanner (Epson Perfection 1260), which it did, but it didn't work for me. My understanding is that udev checks all the .rules files in the /etc/udev/rules.d directory in alphabetical order. My distros rules are udev.rules, so libsane.rules would get checked first. I am unclear as to whether this is correct or not. If libsane.rules needs to be checked last, then I need to do some renaming! I am currently running without libsane.rules. I added the previously mentioned line to the end of my udev.rules. Does this answer your question? If you want me to try again in a different order, I can, but not until later in the week when I get some time - maybe Friday? -- Pete chri...@attglobal.net
