Hi!

I have an Epson 1200U scanner and it used to work as any user.  But since a 
few days, it only works as root (i'm using cooker current).
To make it work as user, i have to do as root these commands:
[root@localhost ~]# sane-find-scanner
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0104 [Perfection1200]) at 
libusb:004:002

So i chmod a+rw /proc/bus/usb/004/002 and it work as user.

But my point is that i'm using a laptop and my scanner isn't always plugged 
in.  Is there any way to have the right permissions automatically when i'm 
using my scanner?  I suspect this has something to do with udev and i'm aware 
that udev had many modifications in the last days....

Thanks!!
