I also am not clear on the udev setup required to get it to work.I installed an all in one device at home and i installed it under my account(via System>Administration>(root Password) and other users i.e. my girlfriend could not use it right away.As I said before:Here are the permissions: $ ls -l /proc/bus/usb/003/004 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 147 2008-01-03 06:21 /proc/bus/usb/003/004I think you are having the same problem that i was having. Root owns the printer and has read/write permission. The group permissions( in this case the group root belongs to which only includes root has read and everyone else has only the read permission). It confused me as well the first time. So you must use chmod to make the printer accessible to everyone or try installing the printer while logged in as a member of the saned group.
I don't see how that can help; you or I would do so as root.
Can members of the saned group even see the printer? Does it show up in the drop down when they try to print or is the postscript/default the only thing present?
But why can I (as my own login) use the scanner? Clearly I don't have write access to the USB device, yet it works for me, but not the saned user. Please look at the following carefully: $ sudo -u saned scanimage -L No scanners were identified. $ sudo -u nicku scanimage -L device `hpaio:/usb/Deskjet_F300_series?serial=CN72FGM1CB04KH' is a Hewlett-Packard Deskjet_F300_series all-in-one $ sudo -u saned sane-find-scanner|grep ^found found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0, product=0x5511) at libusb:003:005 $ sudo -u nicku sane-find-scanner|grep ^found found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [HP], product=0x5511 [Deskjet F300 series]) at libusb:003:005 -- Nick Urbanik http://nicku.org nicku@xxxxxxxxx GPG: 7FFA CDC7 5A77 0558 DC7A 790A 16DF EC5B BB9D 2C24 ID: BB9D2C24
