Hi everyone, I have purchased an HP C4795 Photosmart All-in-One printer, scanner and copier. I have gotten the printer to work fine after installing the unstable version of hplip. The copy mechanism works also. However, I am having trouble with the scanner. I again have installed unstable versions (i.e. ~x86) versions of sane-backends and xsane). If I run xsane as root, the scanner is recognized. However, if I run xsane as a normal user, the device is not recognized. I can't seem to figure out what to change to rectify this - I've tried changing the owner and group on the xsane executable, but this didn't work. The permissions for the xsane executable seem fine. I have added myself to the "scanner" group, but this doesn't seem to have any affect. Also, despite the fact that the device can be set up wirelessly, I have not done this - I have the unit connected to my computer via USB cable.
Any of you gurus have any ideas? Regards, Colleen -- Registered Linux User #411143 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org
