Patricio:
The scanimage reply shows that the device is detected and its permissions are
properly set. From here, I do not know what the problem might be. For me, xsane
worked fine when reaching this point.
Perpahs you may try scanning something from the console with
scanimage -v whatever.png
And check the error messages that surely will show up to see if they give you
any clue. It might be some wrong configuration file somewhere.
Other possibility is to create a brand new user (with permission for using the
scanner, of course) and try to use the scanner from this new user with the
security of not having any user stale wrong configuration file hanging around.
Sorry I cannot help you any more on this.
bhmb:
In your case, the screenshot only showed the end of the messages. Anyway, it is
enough to see that sane-find-scanner does find the scanner but the user
bb-laptop has no permission to use it. Firstly, please check that the user
bb-laptop does belong to the group scanner:
cat /etc/group | grep scanner
The user bb-laptop should appear in the reply. If not, go to the users-admin
utility, edit the user bb-laptop, check his privileges and set permission to
use the scanner.
If bb-laptop already belongs to the scanner group, check the properties of the
scanner device by typing:
sane-find-scanner
and then
ls -al /dev/bus/usb/001/002 (where you must replace "001" and "002" by the
numbers obtained with the previous sane-find-scanner command)
The device node should belong to the group "scanner"
