I had a similar issue, but did not resort to running saned as root. Instead, I did: $ sane-find-scanner ... found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [HP], product=0x2a12 [Officejet J4500 series]) at libusb:005:002 ...
Then I checked the permissions of the libusb:005:002 device: $ getfacl /dev/bus/usb/005/002 getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: dev/bus/usb/005/002 # owner: lp # group: lp user::rw- group::rw- other::r-- It was clear that saned needed to be in the 'lp' group. So I did: $ sudo adduser saned lp and it worked. -- saned cannot access the scanner in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/229343 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
