Add user to "lp" group.
Don't. In fact never blindly add users to random system groups just because some device or directory is owned by that group. Adding users to the lp group on older distributions is equivalent to full root access. In newer distributions it allows to at least disturb cups. xsane is supposed to work as non-root just fine for most scanners. If it doesn't for some reason try using saned. The alternative is to fiddle with udev rules to get device permissions but that's likely more error prone than just using saned. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
