In gnome, I did not have to do anything to configre the scanner. Kudzu 
finds it and just launching xsane from the console made it work. I used 
the 2200c on a desktop and it is attached at boot. I also tried to plug 
and unplug it before into the USB port. The scanner worked just by 
launching xsane and xsane doing its magic.
If you are sing KDE, it might be different, however, when I tried it 
last using KDE, it worked.

What happens when you launch xsane? Is the scanner found and functional?
