No, this is NOT of course. You can be sure I would not have asked otherwise. Scanner permissions for sane devices have been a long- standing issue and has basically always been broken (at least that's my experience) just in different ways in different releases. You can have a look at bug 236956 to learn that it matters a lot these days whether you are actually logged in to the machine and how you are logged in. > sudo scanimage -L > No scanners were identified.

Maybe you can compare /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules between precise and quantal to see if you can spot any relevant difference. ** Changed in: sane-backends (Ubuntu) Assignee: Rolf Leggewie (r0lf) => (unassigned) ** Changed in: sane-backends (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1080787 Title: hp scanner 5300c does no longer work after upgrading to quantal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/1080787/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
