My scanner works fine in FC5. I have an Epson Perfection 4490 Photo scanner which is supported by the epkowa iscan package, providing the epkowa.conf package that allows this scanner to work with xsane. After installing iscan-2.0.0-0.c2, both iscan and xsane work with my scanner if I execute them as root. However, if I try to execute them as a normal user, the scanner is not found. Does anyone know the correct fix for this problem, or should I open a new bug report? Thanks. Gerry
device so that all users can access it.Another, better, solution would be to set it up as a networked scanner by using saned. The procedure is well described in the saned man page. Follow that example and don't forget to restart your xinetd to make it work. Also make sure that the line "net" in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf is not commented out. Add localhost to /etc/sane.d/net.conf That way your scanner device could be owned by one saned user, and the access to it could be controlled by editing the file /etc/sane.d/saned.users (see the saned man page).
