[sane-devel] Xsane/scanimage -L only works as root

[Renan Birck]

Hello,

I have Mandriva 2007 with an HP Photosmart C3180 All-in-One device. The
printer part works well (with the HP drivers) I would like to use the
scanner function with Xsane (I tried it on Ubuntu and it worked), but it
only works as root. With normal user the device is not detected.

Even scanimage fails as a normal user:

renan at wizard:~$ scanimage -L

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

But with root it work:

renan at wizard:~$ su
Senha:
[root at wizard renan]# scanimage -L
device `hpaio:/usb/Photosmart_C3100_series?serial=BR6BIGN0NR04KV' is a hp
Photosmart_C3100_series multi-function peripheral

I think it might be a permission problem. If so, what files should I change
permission/ownership of?

Thanks!
