xsane gives the same error I have quoted earlier.<br>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">'found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x0818) at libusb:001:002' or<br>something similar, you will need to modify the permissions on

Tried out the above option also but no success. <br>
