For multi devices: www-data in "lp" group #13

Hi! First of all, many thanks for this great frontend especially usable for small systems like ARMv61. I have found that my www-data user can not access scanner device causing scanserv fails to get device and setup. As multi devices (printer/scanner) such as Samsung CLX3180 series /dev/bus/usb/... belong to "lp" group, it's necessary to add www-data to "lp" with sudo usermod -a -G lp www-data. Afterwards You can check with sudo su -m www-data -c 'scanimage -L' and device appears near the top. Bests, Hong

My pleasure! I'm glad it's still useful for you. I have updated the docs a bit which will hopefully help.
