You probably just need a local udev rule to recognise the scanner and make the link /dev/scanner0 -> sg0. That will result in the correct permissions being set for /dev/sg0 and then xsane should be able to "see" the scanner.
Please post the output of: $ udevinfo -a -p `udevinfo -q path -n /dev/sg0`

udevinfo -a -p `udevinfo -q path -n /dev/sg0`
couldn't get the class device
OK, try just: $ udevinfo -q path -n /dev/sg0
What messages appear in /var/log/messages when you plug the scanner in?
Can you also post the output of: $ ls -l /dev/s*
And can you see if the scanner will work if you're logged in as root?
Paul.
No,it does noy work as root.
kudzu --probe shows the following:
class: OTHER bus: USB detached: 0 driver: hpusbscsi desc: "Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 5300c/5370c" usbclass: 0 usbsubclass: 0 usbprotocol: 0 usbbus: 1 usblevel: 1 usbport: 1 usbdev: 2 vendorId: 03f0 deviceId: 0701 usbprod: Hewlett Packard ScanJet 5300C/5370C
hwbrowser lists "Scanner" as device : /dev/sg0
But there is no /dev/sg0 in /etc/fstab or in the /dev/ directory.
I'm not familiar with "udev" and don't know if these differences are normal?
Looks like I've been barking up the wrong tree. It seems that USB scanner support doesn't use udev at all.
According to http://www.exactcode.de/oss/avision/index.html the "avision" backend should provide at least limited functionality for your scanner. See "man sane-avision" for details (you'll need to have the sane-backends package installed).
P.S. Please don't post HTML to this mailing list.
