<P><EM>&gt; Hi Brendan
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; You need to set the permission on the device which you scanner is using.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; do a scanimage -L as root and the end of the scanner list will have
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; something like /dev/hp&lt;whatever&gt;. This device need to be set to chmod a+wrx
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; /dev/&lt;deviceName&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Regards
</EM><BR>

<EM>&gt; Subject: Apologies for such a newbie question
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; I'm sorry to put such a simple question on the list but I've had no joy
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; after
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; reading the excellent FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.xs4all.nl/~ljm/SANE-faq.html">http://www.xs4all.nl/~ljm/SANE-faq.html</A> or
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; the man
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; pages.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; I have installed sane and can happily access my scanner when logged in as
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; root
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; but not when logged in as any other user. scanimage -L works fine as root
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; but
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; returns nothing as any other user. Doing a scanimage as a normal user
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; returns
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &quot;no SANE devices found&quot; but works as root. xscanimage returns an error
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; message
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; with &quot;no devices available&quot; but also works as root. I'm assuming a
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; permissions
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; problem but I can't seem to spot where it may be.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; My scanner is a HP C5110A and the card is an Adaptec 2940 that also runs a
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; CDBurner successfully. I'm running RedHat 6.2 with a kernel I configured
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; myself. SCSI support is correctly setup in the kernel as far as I know.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I'm
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; using sane 1.0.3.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; I can't find any information anywhere else that may help so I have had to
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; resort
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; to this list. If anyone can point me in the direction of some help it
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; would be
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; greatly appreciated.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; Thanks in advance
