I am having problems getting scanners to work on our workstations. I am
concentrating now on an HP ScanJet 5490c scanner since I know it is
supported by sane, and works on my machines with Linux. I am running CentOS
4.3 on the server.
When I boot a client machine with this scanner plugged into it, with the
lts.conf file set to "SCREEN_01 = shell", the client can see the scanner
from the initial prompt. When I do a "scanimage -L", I get:
device 'hp5400:libusb:004:002' is a Hewlett-Packard HP54xx Flatbed Scanner
flatbed scanner
But when I startx, log in, and do that command, even as root, it can't find
the printer.
---
There are a couple of things that I believe are going wrong here, and I
don't know how to fix either one.
---
If I do an "ls /proc/bus/usb" at the initial shell, it shows five devices.
If I do that after I startx and log in, it only shows one device. I believe
it is a USB controller. It is not the scanner.
---
There may also be a permissions problem. When I boot this particular
workstation as a CentOS 4.3 full workstation (not as an ltsp workstation),
it can see this scanner when I am logged in as root, but it can't when I am
a regular user.
So I am thinking that perhaps I have some sort of permissions problem on the
server, too. I've read some things about this in the man pages, but I don't
understand what to do to fix it. I thought I read that if we use hotplug,
it will take care of that.
---
I would *greatly*, *GREATLY* appreciate any help with this. I only have
this, and one other small issue (which I'll post separately at some later
date), and we should be able to eliminate almost all of our Windows boxes,
converting them to thin clients.
Please, somebody help me with this. We're so close...

SIMILAR, THAT VERIFIED THE "0x03F0 0x1105" TO BE THE CORRECT DEVICE NAME
RECOGNIZED BY THE SYSTEM FOR THE 5490c SCANNER, TOO.
