[sane-devel] sane-devel Digest, Vol 173, Issue 25

Tue Nov 26 19:10:41 GMT 2019

Hi Yuri -

To follow up - I created the and even gave it execute permissions:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 757 Oct 16 13:03 60-vboxdrv.rules
-rwxr-xrwx 1 root root 168 Nov 24 12:20 80-scanner.rules

I had already run adduser for myself to saned and scanner.

My 80-scanner.rules files is as below:
# change device EPSON owner group
ATTRS{manufacturer}=="EPSON", DRIVERS=="usb", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb",
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0x013a", GROUP="scanner"

Please note my: ATTRS{idProduct}=="0x013a" to reflect the V600.

These commands below still give the errors as sudo seems to be different
than non-sudo. I ran them as per instructions on *Test The Command*: from
your link: https://askubuntu.com/questions/192134/iscan-only-runs-as-root

use udevadm control –reload to load your rule. use lsusb to find your
device /dev path to check if your rule is functioning, test with the follow
command:

*$ sudo udevadm test $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/bus/usb/<bus>/<device>)
2>&1 | grep -i group --color*
bash: command substitution: line 7: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
bash: command substitution: line 7: `udevadm info -q path -n
/dev/bus/usb/<bus>/<device>)'
*$ udevadm test $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/bus/usb/<bus>/<device>) 2>&1
| grep -i group --color*
bash: command substitution: line 8: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
bash: command substitution: line 8: `udevadm info -q path -n
/dev/bus/usb/<bus>/<device>)'

I am not sure if I should have substituted */<bus>/<device>* for something
else?

...
However everything still runs fine as root iscan and gscan2pdf. Again
sane-find-scanner works as sudo but not as myself.

Ok then look forward to hearing what else I could try - but as you can see
I am ok as scans fine and I can get my work done.

Thank you again for you help!
