You'll need to find out the device name the scanner is using when you use it as root. Typically this will be /dev/sg0 or /dev/sg1. If you use Xsane it should tell you the device it's using when it's detected it. Then, run the following command to get some information about the scanner: # udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q path -n /dev/sg0) (replace sg0 with the device name if your scanner if it's different) Post the result back here and we'll take it from there.
