Folks, please bear with me.
I have just compiled sane-1.0.6-cvs with mustek_pp and gphoto2 support. I believe I have configured the system to support direct access, and network access to these devices, indeed I can access the mustek and gphoto2 devices by specifying -d and the local device name, but only as root. Can someone tell me what I need to do to allow normal users to access these devices? I am aware that with the gphoto2 device I need to access this as root because the camera (a Canon PowerShot A10) runs off the usb and I don't have hotplug installed/enabled. But in sane-1.0.4 I was able to use the network and direct access as a normal user. The problem is that during my many attempts to install this version I ran make uninstall and lost all my configuration files (I know it tells you to backup .conf files before running this, unfortunately it tells you on the last line of the README file :(), so I don't know if the problem is with a configuration file or with permissions on the parallel port. The other thing to point out is that this is the mustek_pp patched to support CIS scanners. TIA, Jim
