Hi Colleen, |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I also have one of those All-In-One printers. |
| 23 |
To get it to work, I added the "saned" user to the following groups: |
| 24 |
- lp |
| 25 |
- usb |
| 26 |
- scanner |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I'm not sure, but I think "usb" is sufficient for the scanner, but with these, |
| 29 |
it works on my system. |
