Okay, we're back in "routine administration" territory. adding myself to group 'scanner' /etc/group:scanner:x:111:hplip,saned,jroth /etc/gshadow:scanner:!::hplip,saned,jroth and then 'newgrp scanner' leads to a correct result for scanimage --list-devices Will that be the new status quo when I reboot, or do I have to do something to make it permanent? > If you are already on that group but still cannot scan with your user, > check if there's any rule created for your device and if so, put here the > line of reference.

Thanks for help with (yet again) something that turns out to be a routine problem.
