I am having two problems with my system -

1. I can't open some sites like drupal.org ; etc.

I am using OpenDNS. Opening the site through a proxy works. But on my system, even lynx doesn't open it. Just keeps loading......loading.....

How to solve this ?

2. My scanner is available to root only

I have a USB printer cum scanner.

I can print with my user account but only root account is able to scan.

Even when I run the sane-find-scanner with my user account, it doesn't detect my scanner ; but it works with root account.

some output -

User Account :

Code:
$ sane-find-scanner

  # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
  # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
  # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.

  # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
  # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0, product=0x4d11) at libusb:003:007
  # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
  # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

  # Not checking for parallel port scanners.

  # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
  # can't be detected by this program.

  # You may want to run this program as root to find all devices. Once you
  # found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access permissions as
  # necessary.

$ scanimage -L

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).

Prolly it's as simple as permissions for the device aren't right. Can you find that device in /dev directory? If yes, what are it's permissions?
