With 9.0 I am having problems with a scanner connected to a server and users trying to scan from the server or, most usually, from other computer in the intranet. It seems that the first user that try to access the scanner after it has been switched on is automatycally the owner (permisions of the /dev/usb/scanner0 user: the mentioned first user to try it, group: root). So in this session others users can't access to the scanner; I have tryed to change the device users, but it doesn't run. Finally I created from the scratch the node (mknode /dev/usb/scanner0 c 180 48) with the scanner off, changed the permissions (chmod 666 /dev/usb/scanner0) and the epson.conf (is an epson scanner) and dll.conf, and then isnmod scanner vendor=..... product=..... And it is runing now for everyuser! :-)
If I use scannerdrake to reconfigure the scanner, the problems appears again. I don't know if this is a bug or a missing thing of scannerdrake or sane, but I would like to comment it because in one or other way I think it should be improved.
