That's what I thought. My user is added to the scanner group: foyc@dilbert foyc $ cat /etc/group | grep scanner scanner:x:440:foyc and that's the group /proc/bus/usb/001/003 is part of: foyc@dilbert foyc $ cd /proc/bus/usb/001 foyc@dilbert 001 $ ls -l total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 43 Jul 13 22:36 001 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 220 Jul 13 22:36 002 -rwxrwxrwx 1 root scanner 57 Jul 13 22:36 003 But if the permissions are not set wide open, I can't access the scanner as my user.
