for several ways how to do it manually - perhaps you like it more to add the users who should be allowed to scan to the "lp" group.
This would seem to be a much simpler method especially for new comers.
The simplest solution is to use the saned and the net meta-backend on your local host to access the scanner, for example via "YaST scanner setup" -> "Other" -> "Scanning via Network".
This did the trick, thank you very much.
But the little drawback is that now scanning-frontends for root will "see" the scanner twice. Once directly as "hpaio:..." and a duplicate via the net meta-backend as "net:localhost:hpaio:..." (compare the "scanimage -L" output as root and as normal user).
True, but I very rarely login as root. Most of root's work is done through su/sudo. And the side effect is I should be able to scan using my laptop without having to be physically connected to the scanner. :-)
Verified, I am able to scan using my laptop with the scanner physically attached to my desktop. And it was extremely easy to do using YaST. I will say here that overall I am very impressed with 10.3. Sure I have had a couple of problems, but they have been overcome with the help of people on the list.
