I hope no one minds me posting a question here. If it is a problem please let me know, I starting feeling guilty about sending all of my questions to Stef who apparently had a large part in developing the umax_pp patch.
The problem I am having is with using sane with my umax-2000p parport scanner as a regular user. I am able to use it fine as root, but the scanner appears nonexistent as a normal user. I changed the attributes on my parports to allow regular users the ability to read and write the parports per Stef's recommendation, but this still did not work. I also manually loaded ppdev, and I am a bit confused over the issue regarding creating a ppdev character device. I read somewhere that the ppdev module uses the parport, but I also seem to remember the documentation saying that a ppdev character device may need to be created in order to use the scanner as a regular user. How does this fit together? Thanks again, and thanks for all your hard work on this, I and all the other Linux users out here very much appreciate it. If I need to be sending my questions somewhere else please let me know. -Tim [email protected]
