IIRC, you installed iscan from source, right? That means the regular post-installation scripts didn't get run and you have to do that part yourself. Go to the directory with your iscan sources and do this: ./utils/make-udev-rules ./utils/hotplug/iscan.usermap wiht root privileges. This creates /etc/udev/rules.d/###_iscan.rules, where the ### is the same number as used for the ###_libsane.rules file in the same directory. On Debian GNU/Linux that would be 025. After you've done that re-plug the USB cable and you should be all set to scan as a regular user. > When I scan and save it, it saves the file with root permissions. > > As part of the attempt o get this going, I changed permissions to the iscan > folder to 777 and all of the sub directories I have looked at have that > permission.
