        Yes

        I don't get any SELinux warnings but then I don't know if that
        function is working either. The log data is overwhelming! I see
        nothing that seems to pertain to "sane." But I could have missed
        it ... I tried checking the end of the log immediately after
        xsane errored, saw nothing I recognized as a problem, but would I?

        Did that, unplug scanner, run setenforce 0, plug in scanner and
        try "xsane" again, same error, device not available. Is there a
        command to verify it's actually switched to permissive? There's
        so much to know!

        Is there something I need to enable under "Users and Groups"
        possibly? I looked there but didn't see anything I recognized as
        applicable?
