I cheated. I simply created a udev rule. My
/etc/udev/rules.d/42-local.rules contain the following:

------------------------------------
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="04a9", ATTR{idProduct}=="220d",
SYMLINK+="scanner_lide20", MODE="0777"
------------------------------------

I simply used a 777 permission for the device. This is not secure.
It is just a quick hack. For more info on creating udev rules visit
