[sane-devel] can only scan as root

[Linda Hanigan]

I found some instructions to get a Canon LiDE 200 scanner working on Lucid.  
http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1161276&page=2  It has sorted 
of worked. I have everything installed and if I run xsane or simple-scan as root 
it will run, but as a user it fails to detect a scanner.  The solutions I have 
found online say to add users to saned and scanner groups. I added the users to 
saned, but I don't have a scanner group.  I aslo found instructions that 
suggested you do the following add a new file as 
/etc/udev/rules.d/40-scanner-permissions.rules with the following contents # usb 
scanner SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", MODE:="0666" 
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device",MODE:="0666" I did this as well and rebooted but I still 
can not scan except as root. If I run scanimage -L  It says no scanners were 
identified. However if I run sudo scanimage -L It says device 
'genesys:libusb:002:003' Is a canon LiDE Flatbed Scanner. The computer is 
running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS  Any ideas on how I can get the scanner to work without 
running it as root?  Thank you so much for any help you can give me to get this 
to work properly.         Linda
