REQUIREMENTS

PRE-INSTALL
  1. If you're using an USB scanner, create the group 'scanner' and 
     add all users which need access to your device.

POST-INSTALL
  1. To find the vendor/product id of your scanner, run the command:

     # sane-find-scanner -q
     found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9, product=0x2204 [CanoScan FB630U] at libusb:001:005

     You need the 'vendor' id (04a9) and the 'product' id (2204)

  2. Check if /etc/udev/rules.d/libsane.rules already knows about 
     your scanner. If your scanner is not in this list, add a line 
     like the following, remember to replace 04a9 and 2204 with 
     your values:

     SYSFS{idVendor}=="04a9", SYSFS{idProduct}=="2204", MODE="660", GROUP="scanner"
  
  3. Check the file permissions in /dev/bus/usb after you have plugged 
     in your scanner device.

     # ls -l /dev/bus/usb/001
     total 0
     -rw-r--r--  1 root root    43 Aug  3 10:58 001
     -rw-rw----  1 root scanner 50 Aug  3 10:58 005
