artec 48+U scanner & xsane

[hbrhodes]

okay, i did that and i found the following, when i tried to use it as 
root or user, it said something about "failed to open device 
'artec_eplus48u:libusb:001:007': invalid argument.

now i found the configuration file you mentioned, and briefly looked at 
it, i don't understand what you were saying about permissions, i'm going 
to attempt looking at the conf file again though and see if i need to 
put some lines in there.
