Made the changes, but it is not recognised. XSane seems to only pickup on my webcam. I ran sane-find-scanner as root and this is what I got:

Essentially LMDE2 is a pimped Debian Jessie, which is oldstable. 16GB Ram, core i7, Disk is a 64GB ssd + 1TB HDD and the HDD is configured as a bcache-backend, because there's 192GB left on the ssd, which I use as the bcache cache device.
