YaST setup is trying to configure equipment so that normal user can operate it. It can see your normal group called users and set all permissions as appropriate, but if you are logged in as root than it will be all set that only root can operate equipment.
OK, I tried the following steps:
1. disconnected the scanner 2. logged on with my normal user account 3. started YaST 4. gave it the root password 5. invoked the scanner configuration screen 6. deleted the entry for the scanner and clicked Finish 7. shut down YaST 8. re-connected the scanner 9. started YaST again 10. gave it the root password 11. invoked the scanner screen again 12. YaST detected the scanner
At this point if the correct scanner is selected (I don't recall you mentioning the brand/model) just click on finish. And as it has been suggested by someone else check that you don't have the permissions set to strict in /etc/sysconfig/security. Also check /etc/sane.d/dll.conf and make sure you model is uncommented (remove the # character from the start of the line).
13. selected the line for the scanner 14. clicked Edit 15. confirmed that the correct driver was selected
This should show on the first screen that shows the scanner selected.
16. clicked Next 17. clicked Finish 18. closed YaST
I still can't see the scanner as a normal user. Is this what you were recommending I do? Did I miss a step?
