In an off-list discussion with "g" I realized that
I could run
another "virgin" instance of F-16/64 from the XFCE Live Spin on
the flash drive, the same one these installations are derived
from. Why did it take so long to think of that? Old age perhaps?
I had to install xsane, tried that, got the same error message
about no device available until I installed "yum -y install
sane-backends-drivers-scanners."
Once that was done on box9 the HP-5370c scanner works as User
bobg as it always has.
I've just learned that systemd would log an error when it fails to set
the device node ACL. So,
grep ACL /var/log/messages
should tell. If no such messages related to your scanner USB device turn
up, the OS has failed earlier.
