I noticed this same problem yesterday and commented on this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/181129
I've also noticed other similar bug reports: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xsane/+bug/205628 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/121082 My scanner, HP Laserjet 3055 printer/scanner, worked fine in Gutsy. I did a clean install of Hardy beta and found that xsane required root. This morning I installed HAL updates (hal/libhal-storage1/libhal1 0.5.11~rc2-1ubuntu2 to 0.5.11~rc2-1ubuntu3). I then went to System->Administration->Users and Groups. I found that my user (the first and only one) did not have Scanner privileges, so I enabled it. After rebooting, xsane no longer requires root to recognize the scanner. I was able to successfully save a scanned image. However, xsane is giving a new error when closing: Failed to create file: Permission denied.
