Bug Description
Binary package hint: xsane
I am using the scanning function of HP Deskjet F4185, a combo machine.
What I found was that I need to run xsane with sudo to scan my document, or it says "no device available."
Hi,
Can you please go to System- >Administration ->Users and Groups,
then click on your user and click "Properties", then go to the
"User privileges" tab and check that "Use scanners" is checked for
your user?
Thanks,
James
