You could also try symlinking /dev/scanner to /proc/bus/usb/00n/00m .
(In my case, n is 1 and m is 3.) Check the output of lsusb: n should be
the Bus number and m the Device number.
Note that these numbers *will* change if you unplug the scanner, or if
you plug it into a different port. Try to get the number as low as
possible and leave it plugged in: you want to get that symlink right
when the system first boots.
Then, when a user logs into the console, the device will be given the
right permissions.
Hope this helps,
James.
