IIRC the default config files that you get with sane/xsane/xsane-gimp all assume that your scanner device is /dev/scanner Create a /dev/scanner symlink to the appropriate /dev/sg - my Epson GT-5500 has SCSI ID 3 and is detected at boot time as sg2 so my /dev/scanner points to /dev/sg2. I've also created a group named scanner and set dev/sg2 ownership and group to this, and then added the users as members of this group so they have permission to use it.
