hello to all, this is not about root to operate scanner, is about scanner port detection, just thought that it would be ok to post it here.
I'm running hardy amd64 with last upgrades/updates installed uname -r 2.6.24-18-generic . the scanner used to work ok with previous version 14, 16. didn't use it for a while; now I'm getting error failed to open device 'snapscan:libusb:002:010':invalid argument and this lsusb Bus 002 Device 010: ID 06bd:208f AGFA-Gevaert NV SnapScan e50 Bus 002 Device 007: ID 0d8d:0105 Promotion & Display Technology, Ltd Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0ace:1215 ZyDAS WLA-54L WiFi Bus 002 Device 003: ID 050d:0224 Belkin Components F5U224 USB 2.0 4-Port Hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 010: ID 050d:0980 Belkin Components Bus 001 Device 009: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc.
