OK. After long time, and your post, I decided to see how to install my very old parallel scanner and had the same problem as you. I was able to solve it changing access permissions on device file from 640 to 666, but it was lost after reboot, so I looked udev rules and changed them. For the usb devices look in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules section # misc devices for line KERNEL=="usbscanner*", MODE="644" and change to KERNEL=="usbscanner*", MODE="666" or KERNEL=="usbscanner*", GROUP="scanner", MODE="666" First will allow anybody that has account on computer to use scanner, and second only to those that belong to group "scanner". That group you can add using YaST, and add all users that need access to scanner in that group. I would create group "scanner" first and than go and install scanner. My assumption, in another post, about device creation in this particular case seems to be wrong, but to know that I need someone to test that change is really working. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
