"I know that this does not fix the bug, but FWIW it may help somebody.
For now, this works for me:
make a file /etc/udev/rules.d/50-scanner-kludge.rules, containing:

Tried it, Oscar, but I still have to use sudo. Something beyond my feeble grasp
is still out of whack. I just change the ownership of the file once I have
scanned with sudo chmod 666, but it is a pain having to do it all the time
(just lately I have had an unusual need of the scanner, so it is wearing my
sense of humour!)

Re: [Bug 205496] Re: [Hardy]Xsane needs root to operate scanner
A better way to do it is to add "scanner" to your user's groups (in teh user control panel, giver scanner permissions), however, udev creates the scanner device with the owner:group root:root, when it should have been "root:scanner". The solution is to add your user to the scanner group, then find what bus your USB scanner is on with "lsusb" (you get a number like 002:004), then sudo chown root:scanner /dev/bus/usb/002/004 (or what ever the numbers are) I have to do this every time I plug in the scanner, or turn on the computer. -- [Hardy]Xsane needs root to operate scanner https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205496 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Please sync this package with Debian Lenny/Sid, because there is a new working udev rules file (z60_libsane.rules) to solve this issue. -- [Hardy]Xsane needs root to operate scanner https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205496 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 205496] Re: [Hardy]Xsane needs root to operate scanner
I am also experiencing this issue with a Canon LiDE 30. The command scanimage -L returns a "No scanner found" message when running as a normal user, but it does return something when run as root. I am the first user to be created, and I am already in the scanners group.

If you enable it do you no longer need to scan as root? If so, can you answer a couple of questions please? Are you the first user created on this machine? What version of Ubuntu was installed on the machine first (that has been upgraded to the current version, not that has been re-installed)?

Hi, Can you please go to System->Administration->Users and Groups, then click on your user and click "Properties", then go to the "User privileges" tab and check that "Use scanners" is checked for your user?
