I have no idea what permissions need fixing. Xsane was installed as su
root and I tried reinstall from sudo from bobg, that made no difference.
I rarely need the scanner and today when I do it wont work in Fedora 31
updated today.
It seems that udev is not recognizing it or you need to add yourself to
a different group. You could run xsane as root as a workaround. Or try
doing "chmod a+w /dev/bus/001/006" (replace with the correct numbers if
you've replugged or rebooted since your post).
P.S. Why do your emails always have a dash added at the end of the
subject line?
