Hi,
I have a question , if the device files located in /proc/bus/usb/001/002
permissions was -rw-rw-rw the scanner can be use by unprevilaged user , so
can i just change the permission ? for permanently.
and also I read the README.Linux there is a question too about distribution
that I don't understand exactly what it means, I quote " ... One Solution to
set permissions on-the-fly are the Linux hot-plug tools that should come with
any current distribution
...
( in here current distribution means my OS rignt ? Redhat (e.g:
README.redhat.gz ) where is this file ? because ... )
...
Your distribution should have set up the scripts to automatically change
permissions correctly. Look for " libsane.usermap" and "libusbscanner" in
/etc/hotplug/usb . Usually you must just add the users that are allowed to
access the scanner to group "scanner". To make that change active, the user
must login again. ( is it will ask the user to input Password again?) For more
details , see your distribution's documentation e.g : for debian :
README.debian.gz ( and if I use Redhat where can I found thouse documentation ?
) because I am not experience in Linux, and I need help. Thanks

Subject: [sane-devel] Sane gives 8 or 16 bit grayscale but not 1 bit B&W
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
I am running a Scanmaker 4800 with the sm3840 driver and I've been able
to get almost everything working correctly except the color depth. I
need to be able to do black and white scans, not merely grayscale. I
know the scanner is capable of handling 1-bit color depth which is also
supported by Kooka, but I don't even get the opportunity to select it. I
know this is not a problem in Kooka, because XSane and Quiteinsane also
have the problem.
Is there some configuration file that needs to be setup to allow this
option?
