Hi list, I have my Canon Lide 20 usb scanner working om my system. Setup was easy following the handbook. But I did not like all users being member of group operator; So I added a group scanner, to /dev/devfs.rules I add: add path uscanner0 mode 0660 group scanner # (group scanner is added) I add a user to group scanner. When I do ll /dev/uscanner0 crw-rw---- 1 root scanner 233, 0 Dec 2 22:24 /dev/uscanner0 When I do sane-find-scanner as the user I get: found USB scanner (UNKNOWN vendor and product) at device /dev/uscanner0 and subsequently the scanner is not useable for the user. But when I add this user to group operator: found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9, product=0x220d) at /dev/uscanner0 and the scanner is working. but I see the scanner still belongs to user root and group scanner... Anyone an idea? Maarten FreeBSD klaptopje.lan 5.3-STABLE FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #0: Fri Nov 26 14:37:55 UTC 2004 root@klaptopje.lan:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386
