Your scanner's dev node has can only be read by root, the easiest way to |
| 12 |
fix this is with a udev rule, as the node name changes each time you |
| 13 |
connect the scanner. This rule works for me, I'm in the canner group, |
| 14 |
just change the product and manufacturer strings to match |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
SYSFS{product}=="CanoScan", SYSFS{manufacturer}=="Canon", GROUP:="scanner", MODE:="0660" |
