I just caught this:
$ ps -eo pid,user,group,args --sort user | grep cups
5005 root root /usr/sbin/cupsd -l
CUPS "is" running as root. So is it okay to add
saned to root's group?
I have a network scanner that I have installed an Epson driver for,
which until I did, Xsane would not work with the scanner. I also thought
Xsane used sane as its backend. How are you trying to use saned?
In my /etc/group I have an entry for saned, but like your original
entry, I don't have anything connected to group root.
