I can't use the scanner because Simple Scan (a.k.a. Document Scanner) does not detect it.
That's unfortunate. I think the follow information might help in troubleshooting:
What scanner is it, and how is it connected (e.g. USB)? What does running `scanimage -L` from the terminal report? scanimage can be found in the sane-backends package (yes, it contains frontends too :)) I expect this to also report no scanners found just like simple-scan, but it's worth checking just to be sure.
I've added `(simple-service 'custom-udev-rules udev-service-type (list sane-backends))` to my system services, which may help the scanning tools have permission to access your scanner. Best, Jack
