I'm trying to set up an HP scanner on RH7.3

*if* I run xsane as root, xsane warns me of dire consequences of doing so, and, if I 
accept these risks, it just runs

*if* I try to run xsane as a user, I get 'no device present'

I've symlinked /dev/sc0 to /dev/scanner and set rwxrwxrwx
as root, I can access scanner as either device

(hmmm, perhaps I need to chmod /dev/sc0 and not symlink... /dev/scanner, perhaps 
that's where I went rwong... don't have access to it right now to test)

also:
is there a "CopyShop" like scanner app for scanning pages for fax or imaging, from my 
brief look at xsane, it seems it more amed at image/single page scanning, or have I 
missed something ?
