I had the same problem with Agfa Snapscan e40 xsane worked as root, but not as normal user for me
I inserted the following 2 lines in /etc/udev/rules.d just bevore the line with LABEL="hpmud_rules_end" {{{ # Check for Snapscan e40 (0x06bd 0x208d). 02.02.08 AKf SYSFS{idVendor}=="06bd", SYSFS{idProduct}=="208d", OWNER="scanner", GROUP="scanner" }}} I got the idVendor and idProduct-values from an earlier {{{ scanimage -L device `snapscan:libusb:002:002' is a AGFA SNAPSCAN e40 flatbed scanner }}} I also had to change a few lines in /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf, and copy the file snape40.bin from Scanner-CD to /usr/share/sane/snapscan/snape40.bin {{{ # Change to the fully qualified filename of your firmware file, if # firmware upload is needed by the scanner firmware /usr/share/sane/snapscan/snape40.bin # If not automatically found you may manually specify a device name. # For USB scanners also specify bus=usb, e.g. /dev/usb/scanner0 bus=usb }}} I hope this helps others ** Attachment added: "024_hpmud.rules" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21952868/024_hpmud.rules -- AGFA scanner not accessible due to device permissions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/264590 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
