I have this Brother DCP-130 printer+scanner which I got it to work both as a printer and as a scanner under F8 with the drivers from the manufacturer. It's connected to the usb port. The printer works in F9 but the scanner only works as root (with xsane). As user I'm getting this error: Failed to open device `brother2:bus4;dev2': Error during device I/O. Since as root it seems fine, I imagine this is a permissions problem. So [root@phoenix rules.d]# lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 003: ID 413c:3200 Dell Computer Corp.

CP1500 AVR UPS Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Since it's on bus 3, device 2, I took a shot in the dark and I did ls -l /dev/usbdev3.2_ep* crw-rw---- 1 root root 249, 12 2008-05-31 23:19 /dev/usbdev3.2_ep00 crw-rw---- 1 root root 249, 13 2008-05-31 23:19 /dev/usbdev3.2_ep01 crw-rw---- 1 root root 249, 15 2008-05-31 23:19 /dev/usbdev3.2_ep03 crw-rw---- 1 root root 249, 18 2008-05-31 23:19 /dev/usbdev3.2_ep08 crw-rw---- 1 root root 249, 14 2008-05-31 23:19 /dev/usbdev3.2_ep82 crw-rw---- 1 root root 249, 16 2008-05-31 23:19 /dev/usbdev3.2_ep84 crw-rw---- 1 root root 249, 17 2008-05-31 23:19 /dev/usbdev3.2_ep85 crw-rw---- 1 root root 249, 19 2008-05-31 23:19 /dev/usbdev3.2_ep89 It would make sense then that I can't access it as user. So I changed permissions to 666 but no luck. Anyway, I imagine setting the permissions manually wouldn't be the right way anyway, it should probably be done via udev or hal somehow, but I have no idea how. I did grep for the vendor Id (04f9) in /etc/udev/rules.d but returned nothing. This is but one of the endless troubles I'm having that I suspect are due to udev/hal.
