After reading through that it seemed simpler just to live with running 
su xsane, but I did the following:

[bobg at box10 ~]$ ls -l /dev/bus/usb/`lsusb |grep Canon |cut -d: -f1 |tr " 
" / |cut -d/ -f 2,4`
crw-rw-r--. 1 root root 189, 1 Jan 16 03:33 /dev/bus/usb/001/002

[bobg at box10 ~]$ ls /dev/bus/usb/001/002 -l
crw-rw-r--. 1 root root 189, 1 Jan 16 03:33 /dev/bus/usb/001/002


[root at box10 bobg]# chmod 776 /dev/bus/usb/001/002

[bobg at box10 ~]$ ls /dev/bus/usb/001/002 -l
crwxrwxrw-. 1 root root 189, 1 Jan 16 03:33 /dev/bus/usb/001/002

And then:

[bobg at box10 ~]$ xsane

Xsane runs.

Will it survive a system reboot? I dunno, but if not it will fix it for 
me since I don't often use the scanner.

Thanks to all,

Bob
