Had the same problem today. sane-find-scanner returned... found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x2206 [CanoScan], chip=LM9832/3) at libusb:002:002 ...but scanimage -L found no scanners. This scanner uses the sane-plustek backend, so I added my user to the _saned group, and I had changed the ownership on (in my case) /dev/ugen0.* and /dev/usb2 per the sane-backends pkg-readme. Something else was wrong. Running the the scanimage program under ktrace revealed: 98418 scanimage NAMI "/var/spool/lock/LCK..libusb:002:002" 98418 scanimage RET open -1 errno 13 Permission denied Looking at /ver/spool/lock, it appears that this lockfile should be created in the sane/ subdirectory instead? $ ls -l /var/spool/lock/ total 4 drwxrwxr-x 2 root _saned 512 May 17 16:12 sane I don't see anything in /etc/sane.d/plustek.conf that implies that I can change the lockfile location, so not sure how to correct this?
