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.
