I doubt you would be writing to a scanner (-: The perms look right, something
else seems to be at work here. I am not a user of a scanner, was just making
sure you checked the obvious. If you want to see if giving wrtie perms helps
you do it just like you would any other file 'chmod a+w usbscanner'.
The 'c' is one of the special types given to device nodes, it is not too
important here.
