So do you see something like this? nick at machine:~$ id uid=1000(nick) gid=1000(nick) groups=24(cdrom),29(audio),44(video),113(scanner),1000(nick) nick at machine:~$ ls -l /dev/bus/usb/002/002 crw-rw-r-- 1 root scanner 189, 129 Aug 28 22:29 /dev/bus/usb/002/002 nick at machine:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/scanimage -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 39044 Aug 5 20:45 /usr/bin/scanimage As you can see my user has write access to the scanner device and so scanimage works with no need for setuid.
