USB Scanner
I've buy a Mustek BearPaw 1200 TA that runs with the sane-backend gt68xx.
I've compiled SANE and it runs.
How to use it from user$ ?
I've tryed changing permissions on /dev/scanner* but nothing?
dave >>
Do you have Xsane installed?
yes I've installed Xsane, but it work only from root #

Check the permissions on /dev/usbscanner0 and /dev/usb/scanner0.
/dev/usb/scanner0
the /dev/usb/scanner0 file looks lie this:
crw------- 1 david root 180, 48 ago 31 01:31 usb/scanner0
where "david" is the user I use.
the scanner module is loaded at boot:
cat rc.local |grep scanner
modprobe scanner
dave >>
well changing the permission at the device will not work if you have devfs by the way, because they are recreated every time you boot.
What errors do you get? Is user dave allowed to execute sane? So check all permissions which could be nessacary. And which Distribution do you use?
Dim
I'm using RH 8.0 (but I'll install SuSe 8.1 soon).
I'm using a Sane-backends that uses the beta backed for gt86xx based scanners, so my sane-* installation (and xsane too) is under /usr/local/ .
I've made the firmware file available for all, but nothing change.
Te only thing strange I've found is a broken link in
libsane.a -> sane/libsane-dll.a
'cause /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-dll.a doesn't exist, I've also looked in the directory where I compiled sane but I can't find it. But I don't think this is the problem, beacause it works for root.
thanx for all that are trying help-me
