Thanks for the tip and suggestion(s)..
Here is what I see when I run 'same-find-scanner' as root:
"found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0, product=0x2005) at libusb:001:002
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be
supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage."
However, I don't get much when I run 'scanimage -L'.
But I do have an indication that a scanner exists at -
/proc/bus/usb/001/002"
Don't know if any of this is good or bad news..
