[sane-devel] How o make genesys backend make use of symlink via udev-rule?

[Kelly Price]

First, run:  sudo sane-find-scanner

That'll check if the scanner is identified or not under the current
SANE version you have.

If that doesn't work, check that your scanner is supported and you're
on the latest SANE version (you may need to use the PPA in Ubuntu).

If that does work, then the permissions are not set to allow the
regular user to use the scanner.

Usually you don't need to symlink to the scanner if you're using
xsane, so I'd remove your udev rule and see if that helps.  Xsane will
scan for your scanner, and if it's the only one, uses it (it'll prompt
you otherwise).
