With 9.1I can install with yast2 and scan as root with my hp 6270 usb scanner but I cannot detect nor use it as a user. I can access it temporarily by using chmod to change permissions on /proc/bus/usb/001/003 but the changes don't stick. The sane-usb documentation tells how to modify /etc/fstab but says the modification doesn't work under 2.6 kernels. Two questions: 1. Does anyone have a hp usb scanner working under 9.1 as user? How/what did you fix the permissions? 2. There is a commercial product for linux that can be bought but I can't remember the name. I bought it for my Mac and it works great. Does anyone have the name at hand? Thanks, Henry Harpending

I presume you are using libusb. I don't know about the SuSE's sane-backends rpm since I don't use it. You can however download the pristine tarball for sane-backends and look at the README file in the tools/hotplug directory.

You might look at using the opoj package. search using YaST in add/remove software. This helped me setup proper USB connection to use the scanner as a user. Ken
