Apparently I hadn't done any scanning since my move to centos. hp-scan works for root, but not for me as me. When I try to use xsane, it tells me no device found. When I try to use hp-scan as myself it tells me: error: Unable to locate device hpaio:/usb/Photosmart_C3100_series?serial=CN6ARC321S04KV using SANE backend hpaio:. Please check HPLIP installation. What do I change to make it let me use xsane or hp-scan as myself? This is what I get when scanning as root: [root@localhost tmp]# hp-scan -o fred.png warning: hp-scan should not be run as root/superuser.
