You did create the group sccanner and set up permissions for the correct device file? /dev/sge may only be a link to the real file. Use sane-find-scanner to find out which device file is used. Then use ls -l to view the permissions. If you don't have any other SCSI devices, the correct file is most probably /dev/sg0. > There is an error in /var/log/messages: > scanner modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-81 The meaning of major and minor numbers is documented in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt. Major 81 is video4linux. Looks like you don't have a video/tuner card installed. So you can ignore this message. Bye, Henning
