The YaST scanner setup sets scanner access permissions by calling
/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/test_and_set_scanner_access_permissions
which checks if the scanner is already listed in
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/70-scanner.fdi
and if not it writes
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/80-scanner.fdi
to set up HAL to trigger resmgr to grant access for normal users.
For openSUSE 10.2 see the details at
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=218393

For openSUSE 10.2 you may have to enter it manually in
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/80-scanner.fdi
and reboot your computer according to
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=218393
to apply the changes to HAL.
