Kelson, try this fix that I found:

Go to users & groups: System>Administration>Users and Groups
Click the "Unlock" button and enter password.
Select your default user
Click properties
On the "User Priviledges" tab check the groups you belong to.
If anything is not checked (like scanner for example) check it.
Log out of your session and log back in again 
Now try to see if your scanner is being detected.

So by default the default user is not added to all groups like it should. The 
groups that the default user should be added to still are:
Send and Recieve Faxes
Use Scanners
Use Tape Drives

In my case that solved my problem.
