Hi all,

I have a epson cx3200.

I am running debian testing and the scanner is recognized by root.
for the benefit of other usb printer users here is what I did:

The device files used by libusb are located in /proc/bus/usb/
(e.g. /proc/bus/usb/001/003). The exact file name can be found out by
running sane-find-scanner which would print "libusb:001:003" in this
case. While setting permissions with e.g. "chmod a
+rw /proc/bus/usb/001/003" seems to work, this change is not permanent.
The permissions will be reset when the scanner is replugged or Linux is
rebooted.

One solution to set permissions on-the-fly are the Linux hot-plug tools
that should come with any current distribution. SANE itsself comes with
a hotplug script and related documentation in the tools/hotplug/
directory. Please refer to the README in that directory for the details.

I followed the above and viola

I have a working scanner for regular users
:)
