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
