Re: why don't scanner permissions get assigned correctly ?

[Bill Dennen <ieee1014@hotmail.com>]

I would suspect that the vendor and device IDs for your device do not 
match those listed in libsave.  You can determine your scanner's identity 
through lspci -nn.  If it's not 04b8:0112 then there's no match for that 
entry.  Probably did match on generic, and that rule may not set the 
GROUPID as you'd like.
