Your scanner's dev node has can only be read by root, the easiest way to
fix this is with a udev rule, as the node name changes each time you
connect the scanner. This rule works for me, I'm in the canner group,
just change the product and manufacturer strings to match
SYSFS{product}=="CanoScan", SYSFS{manufacturer}=="Canon", GROUP:="scanner",
MODE:="0660"
