As I see it, you have a couple of options: 1. Change the group that cups runs under to "scanner" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf. 2. Change the GROUP:= setting to be "lp". This will let cups access the device again. You will then need to add your user account to the lp group in order to scan. 3. Change your groups so that lp and scanner have the same group number (gid). 4. Make a new group specifically for this device, and do both 1 and 2 with the new group to let both cups and your user account access the device. If this is the only local printer you have, I would probably just do #1. HTH, -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
