[sane-devel] HP 6200C not found

[Matt Harrell]

Well, I feel stupid.  7 or more years of working as an administrator for 
UNIX flavors, and it didn't occur to me that it might be a permission 
issue.  I looked over all of the suggestions I got from you good people 
on the list.  I updated my hp.conf file.  It didn't work.  However, I 
tried running "scanimage --list-devices" and "xscanimage hp" as root, 
and it worked!  I read into the HP backend mentioned by Henning, and 
discovered that I needed to open up /dev/usb/scanner0.  Viola!  It now 
works under my personal account.  Thanks to all of you who helped.  I'm 
most grateful.
