Im afraid there is not much to help here. You'll just have to explain to
people that to use the scanner they will either have to:

- Put people who want to use it in group "lp" (/dev/lp* are writable by that
group usually).
- Make the devices globally read/write so anyone can use it.

Actually, I beleive the standard way (i think) is the run the backend as
root under saned and then have the frontends talk to it via the network
backend.
