I think my scanner uses /dev/sg1 (If wrong, please correct me)
as safety measure I also did

# chmod -c 0777 /dev/sg0
mode of `sg0' changed to 0777 (rwxrwxrwx)

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).
