Hi all,
Oracle VirtualBox
Host - Ubuntu 16.04
VM - Ubuntu 18.04
Epson scanner 3490
XSane
The scanner is working on Host XSane but unable to work on VM.
On VM:
$ lsusb
$ scanimage -L
$ sane-find-scanner
could not open USB device 0x1d6b/0x0003 at 002:001: Access denied (insufficient permissions)
$ ls -al /usr/share/sane/snapscan/
On Host
⟫ cat /etc/group | grep vboxuser
User already registered.
Edit-1
====
$ ls -ald /usr/share/sane
$ ls -ald /usr/share/sane
$ ls -ald /usr/share/sane/snapscan/
Do I need to change all of them to satimis:satimis ?
Edit-2
Problem solved as follow:
===================
VM VirtualBox Manager
--> Settings --> USB
USB Device Filters
right click the "Blank window"
--> Add Filter From Device
--> select [EPSON Scanner [0110]]
--> OK
Restart VM
Now Epson scanner is working on VM. XSane finds the scanner.

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).Code:

# scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.
# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
