 |
|
Hello!
I followed the wiki to make my scanner run
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/SANE
adding the user to group lp:
| Code: | gpasswd -a darfwas lp
gpasswd: group 'lp' does not exist in /etc/group |
adding the user to the groups usb and scanner works flawlessly
Cups is installed as well
| Code: | | [ebuild R ] net-print/cups-2.4.10-r1::gentoo USE="X acl dbus pam systemd usb -debug -kerberos -openssl (-selinux) -static-libs -test -xinetd -zeroconf" ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)" 0 KiB |
as root:
| Code: | scanimage -L
device `pixma:04A91912_4ACEB1' is a CANON CanoScan LiDE 400 multi-function peripheral |
as user:
| Code: | scanimage -L
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages). |
For all processes running on user level that tries to find and add the scanner running on KDE. The system is asking for root password but finds nothing.
As a sidenote I did a fresh gentoo install but the old installation was able to operate the scanner.
Thank you.

Hello,
did you noticed that «lp» groups does not exist in your system as showed by first quote ?
I guess something is missing.
Don't know why, maybe you installed cups or media-gfx/xsane after this ?

Can I add the group lp manually some way?
