Re: [arch-general] Scanner only works as root

Renan, how did you to install your printer/scanner? I could not get mine to work. Did you used hp-setup? jfsantos On Feb 5, 2008 10:12 PM, Antonio de la Rosa <webmaster@web-t-sys.com> wrote:

Hello,

I have an HP Photosmart C3180 all-in-one (printer/scanner/copier). Installed cups, hplip, sane.

Printing works. Scanning, however, only works as root, otherwise xsane says that there are no devices.

But if I chmod 777 -R /dev/bus/usb/* it works for my current user; therefore I deduce it is a permission problem. This looks like an udev problem, however my udev knowledge is next to null.

What steps could I take to solve this problem? I would like to get rid of this ugly hack.

Thanks. Do you have your user in scanner group?
