[Gllug] Scanner works only as root

[Henry Gilbert]

Any suggestions?

I re-read the sane website many times and did all steps to change permissions.
Somehow it still doesn't recognize the scanner when a user.
But it works fine as root.

root at desktop:/dev/usb# lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 04b8:011f Seiko Epson Corp. Perfection 1670

I am running Kernel 2.6.14.3
Slackware Linux 10.2
With hotplug switched on.

Please help :(

Finally here is the cat of the usb devices.
Note that the driver is not present there but I have placed the
firmware at the right places.
Anyway it works are root but not as user .. So I don't know what else to try.

root at desktop:/proc/bus/usb# cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
