It is goot if you have control which user can use your HW (printer, scanner, etc.). If you want to permit scanner for some users you can add them to lp group. But yast2 could notify that you must add user to group if you want to scan or print something. I reassign it to maintainer. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Therefore everything is correctly installed for the udev/HAL/hal-resmgr machinery and for automated scanner setup so that everything is correctly preset out-of-the-box for a happy nice user-friendly plug-and-play experience (or for whatever they say that it is ;-) I assume your scanner was set up full automated as described in bug #347943 so that in your case you might got the problem described in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=340173#c5 See the section "Background information" in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438867#c3 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 438867 *** https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438867 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
