I think Tim already pointed you to the solution of your problem. But still: libusbscanner sets the permissions of the respective /proc/bus/usb... file to group write/readable by the scanner group. So if you are in group scanner, you should be able to access the scanner. Possible reasons for not working: - No hotplug support in kernel - scanner not listed in libsane.usermap - someone has changed libusbscanner Bye, Henning
