Xsane works as root, but not as user

[Marcel2008]

Xsane works perfectly as root, but the scanner devie isn't found when logging in as normal user.

Any ideas?

In particular, you'll want to check permissions on the device. Do:

ls -l /dev/scanner

It should be a link to the correct device. In my case it points to /dev/sge, which is a link that points to /dev/sg4 (the actual device). So, now do:

ls -l /dev/sg4 (use the one you just found)

You need to have rw permission on it, so if you don't, do (as root):

chmod 666 /dev/sg4

Try that and see if it helps.
