Where can I find some advice on how to manage my Epson 4870 USB scanner?
As a user, I don't seem to have permission to use it, although I am
listed in the "scanner" group. I would like to adjust its permissions,
but I can't identify it in /dev, and I am told udev doesn't deal with
scanners.
I found the advice to run "mknod /dev/usbscanner c 180 48" in a
magazine, which did generate /usbscanner, but it's gone again after a
reboot. What would make it stick?
