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?

I have the same problem with HP Deskjet F380 All-in-one. Adding myself to the scanner group didn't help. http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=43356 Allan
