[sane-devel] HP PSC 1310 scanner

[Carlos Jacobo Puga Medina]

Hello everyone,

I have one question regarding sane-"backendname" user permissions. Whenever
I need to use my scanner (model HP PSC 1310), I have to start it from the
console, because it's asking me to enter the user password.

% xsane
Password of user on localhost?

My user belongs to the following related groups. All works fine, except the
user's password requirement which is very annoying.

% pw group show operator
operator:*:5:root,charly

% pw group show cups
cups:*:193:root,charly

I have established in /etc/devfs.rules:
[devfsrules_common=7]
add path 'ugen[0-9]*' mode 0666 group operator
add path 'usb/*' mode 0666 group operator

The device node permissions used by the scanner:

% ls -lh /dev/usb*
crw-r--r--  1 root  operator   0x4a  8 dic 12:35 /dev/usbctl

/dev/usb:
total 0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  operator   0x4e  8 dic 12:35 0.1.0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  operator   0x54  8 dic 12:35 0.1.1
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  operator   0x6e  8 dic 12:35 0.2.0

crw-rw-rw-  1 root  operator   0x83  8 dic 13:35 0.3.1
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  operator   0x84  8 dic 13:35 0.3.2

crw-rw-rw-  1 root  operator   0x87  8 dic 13:35 1.2.0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  operator   0x89  8 dic 13:35 1.2.1
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  operator   0x52  8 dic 12:35 2.1.0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  operator   0x56  8 dic 12:35 2.1.1
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  operator   0x73  8 dic 12:35 2.2.0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  operator   0x79  8 dic 12:35 2.2.1
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  operator   0x7a  8 dic 12:35 2.2.6
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  operator   0x7b  8 dic 12:35 2.2.7

Does someone know how to avoid having to enter the user's password, every
time I use xsane?
