Ok, I got it working completely. I'm on a 2.6 kernel, so this might help=20 someone.
The first problem was that I couldn't get sane-find-scanner to work.=20 This is because libusb has to be installed before SANE. Using Gentoo, I=20 had to set the USE flags in /etc/make.conf to be aware of usb. Then I=20 emerged libusb, then emerged XSANE (which emerged sane-backends). I=20 modified the /etc/sane.d/dll.conf to only have plustek enabled and=20 /etc/sane.d/plustek.conf to the settings for my scanner. Once sane-find-scanner worked, I was able to see the scanner in=20 scanimage -L under root. Looking at the output of it, I saw a line=20 similar to: [plustek] sane_get_devices (0xbfffe538, 0) device `plustek:libusb:001:003' is a Canon N1240U/LiDE30 USB flatbed scan= ner So I went over to /proc/bus/usb/001/003 (the last two taken from the=20 scanimage output) and changed the permissions to 777. I then verified that scanimage -L was working under non-root. Which it wa= s. The problem now is that the permissions reset themselves fairly quickly.=20 I found a daemon that runs to keep the permissions set: http://www.xena.uklinux.net/Linux/usb_perms.html but haven't tried it yet. Will probably do that soon. Thanks everyone for the advice! Cory Nobody Here wrote: > I have the same scanner.
