[sane-devel] Hello - new scanner Canon canoscan n1240U doesn't work

[Dr. Ing. Dieter Jurzitza]

Hi David,
you have to make your user member of the group "scanner". If you cannot figure 
out how to do this through the configuration tools of  archlinux (I am not 
famliar with archlinux, so I cannot help) please edit (as root) /etc/group:

There should be an entry looking like this:

scanner:x:66:

the "66" can be any number, however, given your regular user's name is david, 
please change this to

scanner:x:66:david

if you have other users working on this machine, please change into

scanner:x:66:david,wilma,fred,mary

and so on and so forth.

Hope this helps.
Take care




Dieter

if you really want to see the pictures above - use some font
