I copied the libsane.rules and belong to the group scanner. Therefore usually I don't need root rights. But I retest a non working functionality always again with root privileges. > The backend only provides the supported resolutions (CS9000F): > - normal flatbed: 75 ... 4800 dpi > - 48 bit flatbed: 150 ... 4800 dpi > - TPU: 300 ... 9600 dpi On my Fedora 17, 75 dpi flatbed lineart does only work with root privileges, while all other scan modes (including 75 dpi flatbed grey and color) work without root-privileges. Cf. pixma.log and pixma.root.log, each containing the xsane start and one 75 dpi lineart scan attempt as user (pixma.log) and as root (pixma.root.log).
