Hello, I didn't follow the whole thread but just picked up this snippet:

I guess the HP 3300 MFP is connected via USB. Then "lsusb" shows its current USB bus and device number, e.g.: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Bus 002 Device 003: ID 03f0:a1b2 Hewlett-Packard 3300 MFP ------------------------------------------------------------------ and then the device file via which it is accessed is ------------------------------------------------------------------ /dev/bus/usb/002/003 ------------------------------------------------------------------ and then "ls -l /dev/bus/usb/002/003" shows its permissions e.g.: ------------------------------------------------------------------ crw-r--r-- 1 root root ... /dev/bus/usb/002/003 ------------------------------------------------------------------ and then an appropriate "chmod" should help - but only until the device is re-connected or the system is re-booted because USB device files are created by udev on the fly for each boot and/or device connect. As I don't see which Suse Linux or openSUSE version is used, I cannot tell what exactly to do to set appropriate permissions via the udev/HAL/resmgr machinery because the details change for each Suse Linux or openSUSE version. For openSUSE 10.2 see for example https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223875#c4 and for openSUSE 10.3 see for example https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=250659 In particular for HPLIP in openSUSE 10.3 http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=Pine.LNX.4.64.0708141120210.25428%40nelson.suse.de and http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=Pine.LNX.4.64.0707040850200.22081%40nelson.suse.de should help, see the "controllable permissions" section. The simplest solution is to use the saned and the net meta-backend on your local host to access the scanner, for example via "YaST scanner setup" -> "Other" -> "Scanning via Network".
