Don't know about the driver. for the rights, see
http://www.
sane-project.org/README.linux. The forth paragraph says
:
The device files used by libusb are located in
/proc/bus/usb/
(e.g. /proc/bus/usb/001/003) or in /dev/bus/usb/ (e.g.
/dev/bus/usb/001/003), if
you use udev. The exact file name can be found out by
running sane-find-scanner
which would print "libusb:001:003" in this case.
While setting permissions with
e.g. "chmod a+rw /proc/bus/usb/001/003" works,
this change is not permanent...
