On my system I have /etc/udev/rules.d/99-libsane.rules which belongs to |
| 35 |
media-gfx/sane-backends-1.0.18-r2. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
I emerged xsane, sane-backends and sane-frontends and except for adding |
| 38 |
myself to the scanner group it "just worked". I have an Epson 1650 scanner. |
| 39 |
I don't use it much. |

|
| 41 |
Perhaps re-emerging the sane packages would clean things up. |
