I thought you might be onto something when I saw:
<console> 0660 <scanner> 0600 root.lp
But after changing it to:
<console> 0666 <scanner> 0666 root.users
It still didn't work.
Here's my scanner in /etc/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules:
# EPSON GT-7000U | EPSON Perfection 636U | Epson Perfection 636U
ATTR{idVendor}=="04b8", ATTR{idProduct}=="0101", SYMLINK+="scanner-%k"
I suspect I just don't know what I'm doing here.
