I'm trying to get xsane to work with libusb;
Now, as root user xsane finds the scanner but as a normal user xsane doesn't find it! This is both on 2.6.3 and 2.4.24 (where I took out the scanner.o module)
I found this page http://www.freecolormanagement.com/sane/libusb.html about configuring libusb but the scanner still doesn't work. I attach /etc/sane.d/epson.conf, /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap, and /etc/hotplug/usb/epson_scanner I currently have
Can anybody tell me what's wrong? I've got an Epson Perfection 1650 scanner. This is what sane-find-scanner says:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x0110) at libusb:001:004
It seems the numbers at libusb keep changing I hope I don't have to update settings each time or so :-/
Thanks for any help,
Joris
