Oliver and Allan, Thank you for the help. I have editted the snapscan.conf file so that the path points to the firmware file. I tried again with the debugging level at 255.
Andy-Whelans-Computer:~ andywhelan$ SANE_DEBUG_SNAPSCAN=255 scanimage -L [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of snapscan to 255.

If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
