I revert hal. Bingo, it works! I'll open a bugzilla.
Bug 450900 - Security update of hal to 0.5.11-8.2 breaks access as user to scanner.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450900#c5 is just one more example that the udev/HAL/hal-resmgr machinery does not work reliably and therefore I recommend that you stop the hopeless fight with this mess and use for example the workaround it via the saned, see http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2008-12/msg00131.html If your worksation is not in a trusted internal network where a firewall protects it from external access (if I remember correctly, you use a router box to connect to the Internet but you don't trust the built-in firewall in this router box), don't run saned (see "man saned"), instead add the normal user who should access the scanner to the group "lp".
