The Snapscan backend currently determines the bus type (SCSI /
USB) from the device name. Therefore, for USB scanners, the
devicename in snapscan.conf MUST contain 'usb' somewhere, as in
'/dev/usbscanner' or '/dev/usb/scanner0'.
A link from /dev/scanner to /dev/usbscanner will not work!

Make sure that
- /dev/scanner does *not* exist
- snapscan.conf (usually installed in
/usr/local/etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf) contains a line
'/dev/usbscanner' or '/dev/usbscanner0'.

Regards,

Oliver
