It looks to me like the HD spots the scanner OK. Preview>File>Import from scanner is still greyed out; Image Capture reports no scanner detected. Same-old same-old, I'm afraid, Niels P.S. I'm sending this again, hoping it appears on the relevant thread of sane-devel. (My previous reply seems to have reached Ralph Little only - perhaps I should have pressed "Reply All".)
