Ok, here's the problem I'm having:
I have installed the scanner software from Brother's site, and when I log in
as root, I can scan just fine.
However, when I log in as a regular user I can only scan if I use the network
scanning functions, NOT the usb (which is much faster).
The scanner shows up as brother2:bus2;dev1 and brother2:net1;dev0 (the net1 is
the one that works even as a regular user.) to xsane.
I know this has to be a rights issue, however, I'm not sure what to modify.
I followed the instructions on the Brother solutions page
(modifying /etc/fstab, and remounting /proc/bus/usb etc.)
Nothing works when I'm a regular user.
NOTE: added the following line to the /etc/fstab:
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto,devmode=0666 0 0
So . .. . What do I edit change?
I tried changing the owner of proc/bus/usb/002 and its files to root:scanner
then adding everyone to that but no joy.
Any suggestions, or suggested reading, would be gladly accepted.
