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 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 |
