image scan only works with the root user and the others? [closed]

-2

I have a problem with an Epson L380 multifunction printer. I have Opensuse leap 42.2 install the image scan application, try it and I run the scanner but in the root user. When I change the user and I do the scan, it does not save what I scan. Is there any solution for this?

That's because your user does not have permissions. Check the groups that the user belongs to. The most common is that to be able to scan you have to belong to the scanner group. You can add your user to the scanner group with the following command

usermod -a -G scanner usuario

In order for the new permissions to apply, you have to log in again with your user. You can check your user groups with the groups command.
