scanner only works in su mode

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



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.

BTW it lied about the compression.
