After a long search on the net I've found out |
| 2 |
that the permissions of the usb device are set wrong |
| 3 |
(root.usb) |
| 4 |
It looks like an UDEV rule installed by sane-backends |
| 5 |
sets the user to root and the group to usb. |
| 6 |
With these settings CUPS won't recognize/use the printer. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
I had to add the following rule to /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules |
| 9 |
(e.g.) |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
ATTR{idVendor}=="0482", ATTR{idProduct}=="0015", MODE:="0777", |
| 12 |
GROUP:="lp", USER:="lp", ENV{libsane_matched}:="yes" |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
where one has to vary the idVendor and idProduct, of course. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Even for a casual Gentoo user that's neither trivial nor comfortable. |
| 17 |
If the printer breaks sometime one has to remember to change that rule. |
| 18 |
And it wasn't easy to find that advice. |

Where should I report a bug to ? |
| 21 |
To |
| 22 |
net-print/cups |
| 23 |
or |
| 24 |
media-gfx/sane-backends |
| 25 |
or where else? |
| 26 |

Thanks for your help, |

Helmut. |
