Solution for scanner on usb bus 005, device 002 and user in scanner group: # chmod 664 /proc/bus/usb/005/002 # chgrp scanner /proc/bus/usb/005/002 ... Lasts until reboot or change of usb bus/device. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
