I have an Epson Perfection 610 USB scaner which worked fine under SuSE 9.3.

Then I upgraded to SuSE 10.0 and now only root can use the scanner. Normal users aparently don't have access to the scanner.

I googled and searched the mailing list, but did not find anything useful.

Any ideas how I can fix this?

If root can and user cannot, dev permissions are wrong or being set incorrectly by a security configuration.

Which dev? I have no /dev/scan* or /dev/usbscan* I think I had this problem a few years ago and I solved it by changing the permissions of /dev/usbscanner0 But with SuSE 10 I have no idea which device it use. It seems to work different now. -- Andre Truter | Software Engineer | Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 | AIM: trusoftzaf | http://www.trusoft.co.za ~ A dinosaur is a salamander designed to Mil Spec ~
