    I'm sorry to put such a simple question on the list but I've had no joy after
    reading the excellent FAQ at http://www.xs4all.nl/~ljm/SANE-faq.html or the man
    pages.

    I have installed sane and can happily access my scanner when logged in as root
    but not when logged in as any other user. scanimage -L works fine as root but
    returns nothing as any other user. Doing a scanimage as a normal user returns
    "no SANE devices found" but works as root. xscanimage returns an error message
    with "no devices available" but also works as root. I'm assuming a permissions
    problem but I can't seem to spot where it may be.

    My scanner is a HP C5110A and the card is an Adaptec 2940 that also runs a
    CDBurner successfully. I'm running RedHat 6.2 with a kernel I configured
    myself. SCSI support is correctly setup in the kernel as far as I know. I'm
    using sane 1.0.3.

    I can't find any information anywhere else that may help so I have had to resort
    to this list. If anyone can point me in the direction of some help it would be
    greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance
