[sane-devel] Sane is definately not Scanner Access Now Easy

[Art Fore]

I modified the /etc/profile, still nothing even after rebooting. If I change
the path as superuser, the sane-find-scanner and scanimage work. If I go out
of su then back in, have to issue the path statement again to get it to
work. This is a little ridiculous.

If I sane-find-scanner as user, it can't find it, says might want to do this
as root, then may need to set scanner permissions. How do you do that?

Shell is Konsole in KDE, OS is Suse Linux 7.3, 2.4.17 kernel. Think Konsole
uses bash as everything else with bash works with it.

Did not edit /etc/profile as it says not to, to add profile.local.

Which shell? Which OS?

Did you try /etc/profile (as sysadmin) or .profile?
