Well that works now. But: >if that helps, then you > need more permissions, perhaps adding yourself to group scanner will > be enough. It seems not: when I launch my homemade scanning script the scanimage message says: scanimage: no SANE devices found Note that I tryed th next: sudo chown yp:scanner /usr/local/bin/scan2* (to sete my scripts in the scanner group, idem I did: chown yp:scanner ~/lin_scans since taht's my destination dir. None of any changed something: ONLY sudo scan2* works. What am I missing ? (its an USB scanner, so I don't need any /dev/scanner or so ?
