OK, try just:
<br>
$ udevinfo -q path -n /dev/sg0
<br>
<br>
What messages appear in /var/log/messages when you plug the scanner in?
<br>
<br>
Can you also post the output of:
<br>
$ ls -l /dev/s*
<br>
<br>
And can you see if the scanner will work if you're logged in as root?

hwbrowser lists "Scanner" as device : /dev/sg0<br>
<br>
But there is no /dev/sg0 in /etc/fstab or in the /dev/ directory.<br>
<br>
I'm not familiar with "udev" and don't know if these differences are
normal?<br>
