I also tested this on Ubuntu Hardy and the behavior is identical: as root both HP-Toolbox and xsane work properly, but when launched as regular user they have communication problems with the devices:
xsane doesn't even detect the scanner hp-toolbox does not communicate with the printer at all This confirms my suspicion that this is an ownership/permission problem, or at least it looks like it is one. After all, why does it work with root permissions? -- xscan not connecting with scanner and crashing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109727 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
