Are you trying to do this as a regular user or a privileged one? If
regular then try running “su -” first.

Dear 69_rs_ss,
I tried so:
/etc/udev/rules.d/55-libsane.rules
but got following anser:
bash: /etc/udev/rules.d/55-libsane.rules: Permission non accordée
wich means, permission denied
I have first input su and then my password.
How can I get the right ?
Thank You

su
nano /etc/udev/rules.d/55-libsane.rules

or use vi or any other CLI editor

Hello,
Yess, it works.
I added the line relative to a scanner device. Format looks to be same as others but the device isn’t proposed in the list by installing the scanner :

Brother MFC 260C

ATTR{idVendor}==“04f9”, ATTR{idProduct}==“01d6”, MODE=“0664”, GROUP=“lp”, ENV{libsane_matched}=“yes”

Is it something additional to be done ?

many thanks in advance
