I have an Epson 1260 USB scanner. I am running Woody, with the latest Sane backport from people.debian.org/~aurel32/sane.html.
Under both root and my own user account, sane-find-scanner returns: found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x011d, chip=LM983x?) at libusb:002:003 Under root, scanimage --list-devices gives device `plustek:libusb:002:003' is a Epson Perfection 1260/Photo USB flatbed scanner ... and I can actually scan a page using scanimage -d plustek:libusb:002:003 --format pnm >outfile.pnm But, under my own user account, scanimage --list-devices gives scanimage: no SANE devices found Obviously there is a permission problem of some kind. However, my own user account is a member of "video" and "scanner". The entries in /dev/usb are members of group "video" and have -rw-rw-rw permissions. I'm not sure if it is relevant, but on boot I get the messages (0x4b8/0x11d is the Epson 1260): usb.c: registered new driver usbscanner scanner.c: 0.4.6:USB Scanner Driver usb.c: USB device 3 (vend/prod 0x4b8/0x11d) is not claimed by any active driver. scanner.c: open_scanner(0): Unable to access minor data Help!
