lsmod
check if sg is loaded. If it isn't, modprobe sg. You may have to kill
ehci and ohci modules (modprobe -r ehci) and then reload them.
sane-find-scanner
sfs should now find your scanner and say it's on /dev/usb (or something
like that)
chown foo:foo /dev/usb (where foo is you)
and you should be good to go.
