I can use Xsane and scan documents as root but as a normal user all scanning programs report that there are no available devices. I assume that this is a permission problem. Can anyone give me some advice as to how to correct this? I am using opensuse 11.4 and kde 4.6; I have a PackardBell usb scanner and the firmware is installed with permissions rw-r--r--.
