I will assume the problems were due to insufficient permissions for the
user inquestion (not a member of the lp group) and thus not a real bug.
The solution here is to add the users to the lp group for them to access
the parallel port scanner. "sudo adduser $your_user_here lp"

Title:
xsane and other sane frontends don't recognize scanner device without
root privileges
Status in “sane-backends” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: libsane
I have to run xsane with root privileges to get access to my scanner, other
way xsane detects only my usb PC webcam. I use ScanMagic 600 CP scanner
connected via parallel port.
I believe that occurs because libsane is not compiled with libieee1284
support. Compilation with libieee1284 option could solve the problem
