Hey! Whew. I was rather having a difficult time trying to figure out why that wouldn't work. Anyway it's because the scanner group gives the usb ports different permissions than what they are by default. If that makes sense. The ubuntu printing team is working on a long term solution, however I'm not sure of the status of it right now. It involves how the hal system detects the device and what permissions it gives to the devices.
Glad we got you working! Till, I know there has been a log of dialog on this..what's the status?
