Thread: why can't the scanner access problem get fixed and stay fixed?
i have epson 636u usb scanner have been using years hosted on 10.04 system. current situation user account can detect scanner "scanimage -l" , "sane-find-scanner" can root account, new user account created. added same group permissions new user account have on account. don't know why works me , not new user. can see device name of scanner /dev/bus/usb/002/002. if set group membership of device scanner group both accounts can access scanner. of course changes if scanner turned off , on. why can 1 account access when owned root not other?
