HOW please can I find this device where I can change its permissions to allow "users" ?
That is what 'sane-find-scanner' should list. The device is: /dev/bus/usb/<bus>/<device> where <bus> and <device> are numbers that you can see with 'lsusb'. With ll /dev/bus/usb/<bus>/<device> you should be able to see owner and group. The <device> number is changing every time you turn device on/off.
Changing permissions with 'chmod' is temporary, until next reboot. The change should be done in: /etc/udev/rules.d/ probably 50-udev-default.rules but I'm not sure about exact location for 'hpaio'
There is a good post on the hplip ML for the permissions checking. Check http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=d868aa60707241117x3de413aax8f7940e5da3c4a7a%40mail.gmail.com&forum_name=hplip-help which though is for a newer version hplip (which is available in the build service) provides excellent info. It may need changed in udev rules, or it may need hal-resmgr changes, or both. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
