I installed sane last night, and runing scanimage as root it recognizes teh
scanner. However I can't access it as a not privleged user.

here is the device:

crw-rw----  1 root  operator   31,   0 Jan  7 22:04 /dev/pass0

I add teh group read write bits manualy, and I'v added this to /etc/group

operator:*:5:root.amanda.stan,sandi,sane

I'm testing as user "stan"

So why, when I run scanimage as that suer does it not see teh scanner?
