In hardy I had the same problem with my scanner, a scsi umax astra 1200s, while it worked fine onder Gutsy. After doing some surfing I found the following solution. Go to menu > administration > users and groups. Click <Unlock>. After giving your root password click <manage groups>. Between groups you can find <scanner>. Select it and click <properties>. Here you can check the users you permit to scan, including yourself. Then <OK> and from that moment Sane handels your scanner also when you are not root. Good luck -- Unable to access the scanner without being root https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/211889 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
