Yeah, probably there. I just tried as root and the scanner worked. So,
it is a question of permissions again. But I don't want to start
changing permissions blindly. How can I dump the action to the screen
or to a file to determine what in /dev is doing the work?
The same probably applies to the memory stick. But that one still
hasn't been found, since all the mounting i used to do with a
script. The scanner was found by "xscanimage".
Thanks to all.
