[sane-devel] sane for epson xp-630

[Edwin Ancaer]

Hi guys,

thank you for your answers. There seems to be no package nor port for
utsushi in FreeBSD 11.1, so I would like to avoid that.

For using USB,  I had to solve a permission problem: I can detect the
scanner on the usb port as root,

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x110c) at libusb:002:002

but not as an ordinary user.

It took me some time to answer, because had to refresh my knowledge on
permissions and groups and users, and try out different recepies I found on
the internet. I ended up creating a group USB, with me in it, giving the
following situation:

[edwin at ottopedi /dev]$ pw group show usb
usb:*:1002:edwin
[edwin at ottopedi /dev]$ ls -al ugen*
lrw-rw----  1 root  usb  9 May 10 06:47 ugen0.1 -> usb/0.1.0
lrw-rw----  1 root  usb:*:1002:edwin
[edwin at ottopedi /dev]$ usb  9 May 10 06:47 ugen1.1 -> usb/1.1.0
lrw-rw----  1 root  usb  9 May 10 06:47 ugen1.2 -> usb/1.2.0
lrw-rw----  1 root  usb  9 May 10 06:47 ugen2.1 -> usb/2.1.0
lrw-rw----  1 root  usb  9 May 10 06:47 ugen2.2 -> usb/2.2.0

I admit not being a specialist in system administration, but I think the
above says that members of group usb should have read and write access to
the usb devices?

Could you tell me where  I'm thinking wrong?

Thanks again


Edwin.
