<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I am setting up an Epson Perfection
1260/Photo scanner thru USB (uses the Plustek driver). I have upgraded my
Red Hat 8.0's SANE backend drivers to version 1.0.13.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> And now, I can see the scanner using both
'scanimage -L' and 'sane-find-scanner', as root only (I can also use 'xsane' as
root only). If I am not root, 'scanimage -L' finds nothing, and
'sane-find-scanners' finds a scanner on the USB but doesn't identify it.
The man page said something about not having the permissions of the device file
set right if this happens.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> The thing is that when it is displayed, it
only shows 'libusb:001:004' as the device name, not something in '/dev' (such as
the '/dev/usbscanner0' or '/dev/sg0' as mentioned in the man page). So how
or where do I go to change the permissions??? Out of frustration, I did a
'chmod -R 777 /dev' but it didn't help...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Here are my outputs of the 2
commands by root:</FONT></DIV>

<BR>No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something
