Unfortunately, I don't have a /dev/scanner or /dev/usb/scanner device as listed in /etc/security/console.perms.d/50-default.perms; this scanner doesn't seem to do whatever it needs to do to create one. It works, though -- I can scan as root. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
