I ran /sane-find-scanner -q and now realise that the Visioneer XP 450 does not have the gt6801 or 6816 chip. I have a printer that also has a combined scanner and it was that which was giving the results so powered it off.
Xsane /run with only the visioneer scanner reports No devices available. I believe that the Visioneer Xp 450 is part of the avision package. I ran the following commands: 1. robin at robin-desktop:~$ sane-find-scanner found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a7, product=0x0424) at libusb:002:008 2. robin at robin-desktop:~$ scanimage -L No scanners were identified. //3. SANE_DEBUG_AVISION=7 scanimage -L Produces: [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of avision to 7.
