Hello,
usually your user must be in the 'scanner' group to get access to the
scanner. If it is the case, you may have to configure udev to configure
device 0x04a9:0x1909 as a scanner. Since you can scan and don't have an issue
with SANE, I guess a fedora forum would give you better guidance.
Regards,
Stef
