Are you sure only root has permission? Is there group read/write permission for the group "scanner"? My USB scanner is appearing with group scanner write privs. If the device is not set to group scanner, have a look in /etc/hotplug/usb/libsane.usermap. The comments at the top of this file describe how the scanner permissions should be managed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
