I cannot reproduce it. It works well for me.
Since a longer time normal-user access for scanners is granted
via the udev/HAL/hal-resmgr machinery which sets an ACL
for the scanner's device file.
Run lsusb to determine the current USB bus and device number
and the run e.g.
getfacl /dev/bus/usb/001/005
to see if an ACL is set and if yes, which one and for which user.
By deafault only users which are logged in directly at the computer
(i.e. via console "login" or via KDM/XDM but not via remote login)
get access granted via the udev/HAL/hal-resmgr machinery.
Have a look at
/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/test_and_set_scanner_access_permissions
(this is also run by YaST)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
To access the scanner as normal user,
udev, HAL, and hal-resmgr are needed to grant
appropriate access permissions automatically.
Therefore the scanner model must be known to HAL.
If the scanner is not known to HAL, a re-plug
of a USB scanner should help.
Otherwise a reboot should be done to restart
the whole udev/HAL/hal-resmgr machinery.
Check if the scanner is listed in the 'lshal' output.
..
If even a reboot does not help, you could access
the scanner via the 'saned' as a workaround.
For this workaround choose 'scanning via network'
and select the 'local host configuration'.

Additionally see
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_Scanners_from_SUSE_LINUX_9.2
---------------------------------------------------------------------
libusb + resmgr + PAM
Note that the details change from version to version.
Additionally there will be further enhancements
(e.g. "udev", "HAL", "hal-resmgr",...).
An article regarding scanner setup cannot describe
all the details about USB, hotplug, udev, HAL, resmgr/hal-resmgr,
PAM, and so on. Refer to the appropriate specific documentation
if there are problems in one of these areas.
