Another thing to check is if the devices were created, though I would think that is mostly automatic if the drivers are installed. If the sane utils were compiled, try running scanimage -L . Also check the startup messages - use the 'dmesg' command to see them. A reference to the detected interface should be present. Another problem could be that, if the SCSI driver are compiled as modules, they don't get loaded automatically. In my case, I have an Agfa Snapscan scanner which won't run without updating the firmware (scanner's internal software) I had a Vuego before - I don't think it needs that though.
