Comment 25 for bug 205496

I have now got the latest version of Hardy installed, with all current updates, User is in the scanner group, and I still have to use "sudo xsane".
Does anyone have any bright ideas as to what I can do to sort this out?
Could this be because some setting is being carried over in my home partition each time I do an install of the operating system?
8.04 has caused me more hassle so far than any previous version has: definitely not yet a system for non-techies like me.
Regards,
Bruce.
