I just took a peek at libusbscanner. Things for scanner are all nice and dandy, but I wondered what would/should happen with ownership and permissions for all-in-one devices. Let's say I've added an entry to libsane.usermap for the EPSON Stylus CX5200 and blacklisted it. I plug it in and the "device node" access permissions are set to 0660 and ownership to root.scanner. Fine if I just want to scan, but how do I print now? Eh, thinking this through, if I can scan, there does not seem to be a reason I can't print (unless that requires execute permissions). But what if scanner access and printer access rights need to be granted separately? I haven't really looked at the printer side requirements, so if this is all totally irrelevant, just say so. Perhaps we should just tell whoever needs separately granted access rights to their printers and scanners to go buy physically separate printers and scanners ;-) Anyway, just a thought. -- Olaf Meeuwissen EPSON KOWA Corporation, ECS FSF Associate Member #1962 sign up at http://member.fsf.org/ GnuPG key: 6BE37D90/AB6B 0D1F 99E7 1BF5 EB97 976A 16C7 F27D 6BE3 7D90 Penguin's lib! -- I hack, therefore I am -- LPIC-2
