Hi everyone, I have a BearPaw 1200 CU USB scanner, which is supported under Linux via the gt68xx sane backend.
Running sane-find-scanner as root finds the scanner: # sane-find-scanner -q found USB scanner (vendor=0x05d8, product=0x4002, chip=GT-6801) at libusb:001:005 # Running sane-find-scanner as a non-root user does not: $ sane-find-scanner -q $ sane-find-scanner (without -q) recommends "You may want to run this program as root to find all devices. Once you found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access permissions as necessary." How can I do this? There is no /dev/scanner file, and adjusting permissions on /dev/usb/scanner0 didn't help. Which permissions do I need to change? http://wiki.warwickcompsoc.co.uk/bin/view/UWLUG/UsbScanner suggests installing the usb permissions daemon. Has anyone used this? Is there a Debian package? -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
