Recognize Your USB Scanner

Connect the scanner to the USB port and run "lsusb" to see what do you have plugged there:

[C:\]lsusb
Bus 000 Device 001: ID 04b8:1135 Seiko Epson Corp.
Bus 000 Device 002: ID 13d3:5406 IMC Networks
Bus 000 Device 003: ID 06cb:00bd Synaptics, Inc. Prometheus MIS Touch Fingerprin
t Reader
Bus 000 Device 004: ID 8087:0026 Intel Corp. AX201 Bluetooth

On this case my scanner is the is the Epson one "04b8:1135".

Also run the "sane-find-scanner" command to see which scanners are recognized by SANE.

[C:\]sane-find-scanner

  # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
  # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
  # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.

  # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
  # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.
