hmm, don't know how scanner permissions are handled nowadays ..

Comment 2 Kevin DeKorte 2009-10-06 20:28:20 UTC
Any update on this? Would be nice to have the scanner accessible to users in F12.

Even telling me what files I need to alter to fix this would be nice.

Udev rules

I was able to make my scanner work for non-root users by installing this file, adding a group named scanner and then adding my id to the scanner group.

I am a developer working on iscan and after investigating, the only conclusion I can come to is that the problem is a permissions issue in Fedora 12, see my comment here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=527031.

Not installing iscan and using only the epson2 backend provided by sane-backends, I was still unable to use any of the Epson scanners I tried as a regular user.

iscan bases its permissions on the underlying distribution, so if permissions don't work with epson2 they can't work with iscan. I hope this can get fixed for the final Fedora 12 release.
