Glad I was able to help in some small way by suggesting an alternate. BTW, I checked and mine is an LIDE 30, not 40. D'oh! Typically, when something can be done as root and not as a normal user there is a permissions problem. I too have my user as a member of the scanner group as well as several others. This reminds me of the way I did things when I started out on Slackware many years ago. Groups weren't used as extensively as in Debian and I spent a lot time making this binary SETUID root or that one and it was a mess. It took me a while to figure out that such wasn't necessary in Debian as groups are heavily used to maintain access control. This use of groups is an important bit of knowledge for the new Debian administrator. - Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
