usb scanner only work as root after upgrade to SUSE 10

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?
