'xsane', or more precisely 'scanimage' which sits underneath, has a habit of reporting that it cannot find a device if it does not has read/write permissions to it. This is the most likely the reason for what you are seeing and I run into the same issue. :-) Check https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121511#c47 for details. A group 'scanner' and 0660 permissions are likely what you want in general. Michal
