I needed to add;
usb 0x04b8 0x0110
to /etc/sane.d/epson.conf to be able to talk to my Epson 1650 scanner and;
chmod 777 $(sane-find-scanner | \ grep '^found USB scanner' | \ sed -e 's?^.*libusb:?/proc/bus/usb/?' -e 's?:?/?')
to /etc/rc.d/rc.local so that normal users could use it. Is there a bug here or is this the normal configuration procedure (I'm glad ESR didn't try to setup a usb scanner)?

Does 'usb /dev/usb/scanner0' work instead?
chmod 777 $(sane-find-scanner | \ grep '^found USB scanner' | \ sed -e 's?^.*libusb:?/proc/bus/usb/?' -e 's?:?/?')
For /dev/usb/scanner0 this step shouldn't be needed.

Unfortunately this stuff isn't set up automatically, and there is an open bug for it to be: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=80613
If anyone can provide clues about how this should/could be done, that bug report would be the place to put them!
Thanks, Tim. */

Nope. That's how I had it setup in FC1.

There's many bugs with the approach I took above for user permissions. I don't know what the plan is for scanner configuration with sane and kernel-2.6/libusb/udev/hotplug. Wish I knew.

Well here's a LKML thread today discussing the issue of user permissions and udev. Someone more astute than I may want to get involved;
