Default Scanning without root with sane

I have a scanner that I use with scanimage(1) from sane:
Code:
ugen0 at uhub3 port 2 "STMicroelectronics Biometric Coprocessor" rev 1.00/0.01 addr 2
It won’t detect the device if not root, even with chmod 777 /dev/ugen0* (which I know is a very bad idea). This is annoying when I forget to change the ownership of the resulting scanned image back to me.

I saw that -current has a saned rc.d(8) script, so I ran “/etc/rc.d/saned start” in hopes of it Just Working, but got the same results—no device detection with scanimage(1) without root. The saned man page seemed to mostly be about network configuration, and I’m running locally.

Does anyone run sane without needing root? If so, how?

The information given above may be confusing. I initially thought that you wish to set up a document scanner. The STMicroelectronics Biometric Coprocessor is a finger print scanner.

If you are trying to setup a document scanner I would give the scanner model and also check to see if it is a supported device on the Saned site.

As far as setting up a document scanner for a user the documentation on how to generate a scanner group is here:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvswe...e=text%2Fplain

and in
Code:
/usr/local/share/doc/sane-backends/README

Whoops. Here is the correct device:
Code:
ugen0 at uhub4 port 3 "Canon CanoScan" rev 1.10/1.00 addr 2

Thanks, I never noticed this. Works great now.

Of course On this computer I have locally attached Epson Perfection 1670.
The scanner uses uscanner driver (or at least it used to since from this dmesg I see ugen attached). Uscanner is I think removed from 4.9 anyway and form most scanner one had to disable manually from the generic kernel. My scanner uses snapscan sane-backends and requires firmware which you have to extract with
cabextract from Windows driver. The firmware needs to be uploaded in
/usr/local/share/sane/snapscan/your-firmwarefile.bin. Now the things that you are really interested in:

Code:
$ uname -a
OpenBSD oko.bagdala2.net 4.8 GENERIC.MP#361 i386
$ cat /etc/group|grep sane
_saned:*:553:oko
$ ls -l /dev/uscanner0

$ dmesg|grep ugen0

$ scanimage -L
device `snapscan:libusb:/dev/usb0:/dev/ugen0' is a EPSON EPSON Scanner flatbed scanner
Do you believe now or I have to add a scan or two

Code:
$ ls /usr/local/share/doc/sane-backends/README
ls: /usr/local/share/doc/sane-backends/README: No such file or directory
I think the documentation was moved in release 4.9. It can also be found in the appropriate /usr/ports directory.
