[sane-devel] Sane Permissions libusb and libsane.rules

[patsingh]

I have got this working on ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty) server with udev 141-1.2. I
had to read about writing udev rules to make the neccessary changes

/etc/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules

SUBSYSTEM!="usb", ACTION!="add|change", GOTO="libsane_rules_end"

# HP PSC 1400
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03f0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="4d11",
GROUP="scan
ner"

LABEL="libsane_rules_end"
