Better results to solve permissions problems with :
SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, ENV{DEVTYPE}==”usb_device”, MODE:=”0666″, GROUP:=”saned”, OWNER:=”saned”
SUBSYSTEM==”usb_device”,MODE:=”0666″

Thank you so much for this, I did have to edit the ./config line as described in reply to Charles, but this got my printer/scanner working great. Couldn't be happier, with the inexpensive printer, or the totally free aid and instructions. Great job.

I also had this problem after coping and pasting the text, then I edited the line, replacing the dashes that were copied with a single typed dash, which was visibly smaller, and it worked. I didn't have to use — but only one -, but the copied text translated to a single bar longer than a single dash, font stuff I suppose

At the end of each line, just add the group “saned”. Like this :

UBSYSTEM==”usb”, ENV{DEVTYPE}==”usb_device”, MODE:=”0666″, GROUP=″saned″
SUBSYSTEM==”usb_device”,MODE:=”0666″, GROUP=″saned″

This command ./configure –prefix=/usr –sysconfdir=/etc –localstatedir=/var makes the system to display an error “
configure: error: invalid variable name: –prefix”. Would you please let me know what to do ?????

Thanks man! Everything worked fine with me, for ubuntu 10.04 on amd64 bit
EXCEPT for step 10.
The scanner works only if I call xsane as root user.
Is the 0666 in the permissions file ok ?
