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
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
