that change active, the user must login again. For more details, see your
distribution's documentation e.g. for Debian: README.debian.gz.
If you build SANE from source you can use the hotplug script that comes with
SANE. See the tools/hotplug/ directory in the source distribution. Please refer
to the README in that directory for the details.
Gentoo users: If your USB scanner is not detected at all check that USE=usb is
set when emerging.
