Hi, I am setting up an Epson Perfection 1260/Photo scanner thru USB (uses = the Plustek driver). I have upgraded my Red Hat 8.0's SANE backend = drivers to version 1.0.13. And now, I can see the scanner using both 'scanimage -L' and = 'sane-find-scanner', as root only (I can also use 'xsane' as root only). = If I am not root, 'scanimage -L' finds nothing, and = 'sane-find-scanners' finds a scanner on the USB but doesn't identify it. = The man page said something about not having the permissions of the = device file set right if this happens. The thing is that when it is displayed, it only shows 'libusb:001:004' = as the device name, not something in '/dev' (such as the = '/dev/usbscanner0' or '/dev/sg0' as mentioned in the man page). So how = or where do I go to change the permissions??? Out of frustration, I did = a 'chmod -R 777 /dev' but it didn't help... Here are my outputs of the 2 commands by root: [root@tepeyac root]# scanimage -L = =20 device `plustek:libusb:001:004' is a Epson Perfection 1260/Photo USB = flatbed sca nner = =20 [root@tepeyac root]# sane-find-scanner = =20 = =20 # No SCSI scanners found.
