Thanks Justin.

I added the user to usb and scanner groups with the same results.

I can't figure out where the device file is.  With the scanner
connected and powered on I did an 'updatedb && locate scanner' and it
didn't come up with anything in /dev, I don't have a /dev/usb/
directory, and the output of 'ls /dev/usb*' is the same with the
scanner on or off.  Any idea where that file might be?   Those two
commands also don't mention it.
