QUICK START
This is a short HOWTO-like section. For the full details, read
the following sections. The goal of this section is to get the
scanner detected by sane-find-scanner(1).
Run sane-find-scanner. If it lists your scanner with the
correct vendor and product ids, you are done. See section SANE
ISSUES for details on how to go on.
Sane-find-scanner doesn't list your scanner? Does it work as
root? If yes, there is a permission issue. See the LIBUSB
section for details.

LIBUSB
SANE can only use libusb 0.1.6 or newer. It needs to be
installed at build-time. Modern Linux dis‐ tributions and other
operating systems come with libusb.
Libusb can only access your scanner if it's not claimed by the
kernel scanner driver. If you want to use libusb, unload the
kernel driver (e.g. rmmod scanner under Linux) or disable the
driver when compiling a new kernel. For Linux, your kernel
needs support for the USB filesystem (usbfs). For kernels
older than 2.4.19, replace "usbfs" with "usbdevfs" because the
name has changed. This filesystem must be mounted. That's done
automatically at boot time, if /etc/fstab contains a line like
this:
