I just picked up a new HP OfficeJet J3680 all-in-one (because, as
previously posted, my 4315 broke), and I was able to install the
printer using the latest hplip's hp-setup command, BUT:
doesn't recognize that there is a scanner out there and only loads the
interface for my old ScanJet 3300C:
[mar@marichter ~]$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 012: ID 03f0:0205 Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 3300c
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 04f9:0033 Brother Industries, Ltd
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
In fact, the new scanner doesn't even show up unless:
[mar@marichter ~]$ sudo lsusb
[sudo] password for mar:
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 015: ID 03f0:3112 Hewlett-Packard
Bus 002 Device 012: ID 03f0:0205 Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 3300c
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 04f9:0033 Brother Industries, Ltd
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
If I run xsane from the command line as root (i.e., with sudo), then
it works, but then I also get that WARNING DANGER WILL ROBINSON
message, which is both annoying and probably likely to cause problems
with file permissions on my scans.
So, how do I (a non-root user) get x/sane to see the new USB device
when it only appears to visible to the root user? What am I missing?
Thanks.

(In)(x)sane privilege/access issue
SOLVED:
I added myself to the lp group, logged out and back in, and voila.
Not exactly sure why this works, and it seems a little strange to me,
but it works.
