Dear folks,

I am sorry to bother you guys, but I need your help.  I have a scanner
HP 3300C scanner that is connected to one of my freebsd 8.2 amd
machines.

I have done my homework:
read section scanners on FreeBSD Handbook:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/scanners.html

looked at other threads:

http://www.daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=2057&page=1

http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12037990

As root user, I can find the device name:

quadcore# sane-find-scanner -q
found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [Hewlett-Packard], product=0x0205 [HP
ScanJet 3300C]) at libusb:/dev/usb:/dev/ugen4.2
found USB scanner (vendor=0x0bda, product=0x8187 [RTL8187_Wireless])
at libusb:/dev/usb:/dev/ugen3.3

but as myself(regular user) not :(

[olivares at quadcore /usr/home/olivares]$ sane-find-scanner -q
[olivares at quadcore /usr/home/olivares]$

I try to run simplescan -L but can't get it to work.  I run xsane and
it tells me that it can't find devices.  I looked in /etc/sane.d/ and
found hp.conf and edited it to handbook scanners section, see hp.conf
below:

quadcore# pwd
/usr/local/etc/sane.d
quadcore# ls -l
total 166

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

I have a file that should help with permissions, but I don't know if
that could be the cause?

Do I need to add uscanner* to it?  or another suggestion.  I would
like for the scanner to work as user.
Advice/suggestions/comments are welcome and appreciated :)

Antonio
