Does anyone know how to do this? What happens is, I've gone through the YAST configuration of the scanner, and its there ok. In fact, its there twice, once with the epkowa driver and once with the xsane driver.
No idea how SuSE works wrt to scanners, but have you added yourself to the group "scanner"? I'm sure it is all there in Yast somewhere, maybe a SuSE user could enlighten us?
Thanks Adam
I've been using xsane on SuSE 7,2 (those were days when YaST did not deal with scanner configuration!). While xsane is user.group = root.root, the permissions are -rwxr-xr-x and it works fine when run by ted!
xsane, or the scanner device? We're more interested in the permissions on the device node!
As I recall, xsane was simply installed, and there it was.
that happens...
Maybe this doesn't help woith recent SuSE (which seems to have been getting a bit weird in later versions); but I hope it does!
Define 'bit weird'. Do you mean that they've finally got round to not making it very very easy to hose your system?
