I managed to get a usb scanner working for root, but I don't want to
always have to go into /dev/bus/usb/002/ and change the permissions so a
regular user can use it. Is there an elegant way to allow a regular
user to run xsane for a USB scanner? That works even when it is not
present at boot but is hot plugged later?
I didn't find anything in a web search, though there were hints that
this could be done through udev rules in /etc/udev/rules.d somehow.
There doesn't appear to be a scanner group or a usb group to add my user
to, and I think that creating an fstab entry with user permissions like
cd and dvd for usb is obsolete.
So, what is the solution?
