---------
I dont understand the relation between parport scanners and to be root to 
config file ?
If i open "xsane" in root, I receive a message : "you start xsane on your own 
risk if you are root"

can you tell ma the permissions of  /dev/usbscanner (chmod 666 ?)
modprobe scanner vendor=something product=something
I shall add : "vendor=something product=something" ?
