I hesitate to proceed as "root" because a warning popup.  I did all 
configuration as user with 'su' command.

Sorry what 'permission' you are referring to?  I could not find it on 
man sane-scsi

as user
# sane-find-scanner

sane-find-scanner: found SCSI scanner "AGFA SNAPSCAN 310 1.90" at device

# scanimage -L

No scanners were identified. 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).

(remark: the scanner has been turned on when starting the computer)
