[wellylug] Scanner permissions

[Rob van der Linde]

I have a Canon USB scanner which is supported by Linux (I can run it no
problem on Ubuntu 8.04 desktop), that I want to get running on Ubuntu
8.04 server. When I enter:

scanimage -L

Nothing shows, however:

sudo scanimage -L

Comes up with the following:

device `plustek:libusb:002:003' is a Canon CanoScan N1240U/LiDE30
flatbed scanner

I also ran sane-find-scanner which sees the scanner, it says you may
need to adjust the permissions for scanimage -L to see it. I think that
is is why it is only showing when I run that command as root.

I want to be able to use the scanner as the user www-data, so I can run
Jethro's openpsfc software. Any ideas how I should do this?
