I'm trying hardy heron beta1 and I have this same problem. (NB, commands below ran after changing permissions, so xsane is not running as root)
when I run lsusb, I can see the device is 004:004: Bus 004 Device 006: ID 07cc:0501 Carry Computer Eng., Co., Ltd >>>> Bus 004 Device 004: ID 04b8:011b Seiko Epson Corp. Perfection 2400 Photo Bus 004 Device 002: ID 03f0:c602 Hewlett-Packard Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 003 Device 002: ID 046d:c03e Logitech, Inc. Premium Optical Wheel Mouse Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 003: ID 045e:001d Microsoft Corp. Natural Keyboard Pro Bus 002 Device 002: ID 045e:001c Microsoft Corp. Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 "lsof |grep xsane |grep dev" also gives that xsane is using this device at /dev/bus/usb/004/004: xsane 10068 simon 6r CHR 1,9 1804 /dev/urandom xsane 10068 simon 8u CHR 189,387 5753 /dev/bus/usb/004/004 So when I changed chgrp scanner /dev/bus/usb/004/004 and made sure my username (simon) is in the scanner group, I could run xsane as a normal user. The bug is that my default user wasn't in the scanner group _and_ the device for the scanner wasn't in the scanner group. I don't know what mechanism is used to set this...
