Sorry if this is a FAQ, but I'd like to review the fix for a "scanner problem" for which sane might be wrongly suspected.
I have a Canon LiDE 20. I upgraded to SuSE 10.0, and installed a lot of stuff. Now the scanner would only work for root - the users received "no device found". I assumed that this was a scan device permissions problem, and wasted a lot of time fiddling with device permissions. The solution in my case was to run /sbin/resmgr list and notice that nothing authorised the Canon scanner. Since 10.0, SuSE have a new policy for resmgr: if it isn't specifically authorized, it's forbidden. Read this good news at http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Scanner_Setup_from_SUSE_Linux_10.0 . For some reason I don't understand, YaST wasn't creating file /etc/resmgr.conf.d/50-scanner.conf which sets up the resmgr permissions for the scanner, so I created a file /etc/resmgr.conf.d/51-scanner.conf which contains: # Allow access to Canon LiDE 20 add usb:vendor=0x04a9,product=0x220d scanner Once resmgrd was restarted the scanner was available to the users. Best Regards, Roger
