Got this to work on Karmic for an HP Officejet 5510. sudo sane-find-scanner returned: found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [hp], product=0x3a11 [officejet 5500 series]) at libusb:001:003
I added an line similar to the one already in /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules as mine wasn't listed: ATTRS{idVendor}=="03f0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="3a11", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes" I added the following line to the new file /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libsane.rules: SYSFS{idVendor}=="03f0", SYSFS{idProduct}=="3a11", MODE="664", GROUP="scanner" I created the group "scanner" and added my self to it: sudo groupadd scanner sudo usermod -a -G scanner dave I also added the user "saned" to the scanners group so that I can access the scanner from another system using the sane daemon and xsane: sudo usermod -a -G scanner saned After a reboot, things seem to be working locally and with a different system. I'm not sure how necessary adding the line to /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules was. -- permission problems for sane devices https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121082 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
