su -
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.
