I added the user to usb and scanner groups with the same results. |

I can't figure out where the device file is. With the scanner |
| 17 |
connected and powered on I did an 'updatedb && locate scanner' and it |
| 18 |
didn't come up with anything in /dev, I don't have a /dev/usb/ |
| 19 |
directory, and the output of 'ls /dev/usb*' is the same with the |
| 20 |
scanner on or off. Any idea where that file might be? Those two |
| 21 |
commands also don't mention it. |
