[Solved for Jaunty] 
My solution to only being able to use a scanner as root in Jaunty, much simpler 
than udev.rules, is:
  1) lsusb
.......
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 04f9:0182 Brother Industries, Ltd Composite Device

(but see also  sudo xsane ,  where the xsane top panel says 0.996
DCP-7010:bus3;dev2 )

2)  sudo pcmanfm
go to  /dev/bus/usb/002/002
(Might want to try /dev/bus/usb/003/002 as well if this bus no. confusion 
exists)
Right mouse click > properties > permissions
Allow Run for Group and Other Users.

3) Reboot. I can now scan as a normal user.
