scanner only root

micder · 06-06-2006, 09:57 AM

Installed iscan for Epson scanner from Install-DVD.
However only root has acces to the scanner.
Added scanner for users in /etc/group to no avail.
Any ideas?

TNX,

Still no user acces.
How to run resmgr?

abisko00 · 06-06-2006, 11:05 AM

After you made these changes, did you restart resmgr?

As root, type '/etc/init.d/resmgr restart'

Yes, /etc/init.d/resmgr restart did not solve the problem.
Directory /etc/resmgr.conf.d has 2 files:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 80 Jun 6 17:36 51-scanner.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 127 May 2 08:43 99-desktop.conf

this could be because that no permission on /dev/yourscanner for your normal user.

Added myself to group scanner.
$groups gives:
users dialout video scanner

Anybody any idea?
