Well, there's lots and lots of udev rules regarding scanners. The one
you probably are most interested in is in /etc/udev.d/50-udev.rules.
Look for the stanza:
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sg[0-9]*", BUS=="scsi", SYSFS{type}=="[36]", \
SYMLINK+="scanner scanner-%k", MODE="0660"
and change the MODE bit to "MODE=0666". That will change the scanner's
mode to "rw-rw-rw-" next time it's seen, so unplug it and plug it back
in after the change to /etc/udev.d/50-udev.rules.
