Ensure that you're added to the scanner and lp groups.. gets me every time..

try running, as root initially;

scanimage -l

(lower case L), should list the available devices..

then as the 'user', probably find that it'll work as root, not as user..

Add self to groups, log out, log in, try again..


failing that, drop in to IRC and we'll see what we can do to help..
