when i plug in my hp psc3180 aio printer, a device node is created with the following permissions: crw-rw-r-- 1 root scanner 189, 2 2008-09-20 17:43 003 which results in cups not being able to print. doing a chown root:lp on the node and cups prints fine. this arch bug may be related: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8240 i have: media-gfx/sane-backends-1.0.19-r1 USE="usb -doc -gphoto2 -ipv6 -v4l" net-print/hplip-2.8.6b USE="dbus ppds qt3 qt4 scanner -cupsddk -doc -fax -minimal -parport -snmp" thanks kind regards Thilo
I have got the same problem with my digital camera Canon PowerShot S5 IS. If I connect it, new device is created (/dev/usbdev*) and it has wrong permissions (crw-rw---- 1 root root). I suppose it is UDEV problem.
jiri tyr: just because our two problems have similar symptoms does not mean they are related. anyway - i recently reinstalled my system an it now seems to work just fine.
