Does it work when you run "scanimage -L" as root? If yes, fix the
permissions of /proc/bus/usb, see man sane-usb, section libusb, for
how to do that.

If that doesn't work, become root and tell the kernel scanner module
about your scanner:

rmmod scanner (ignore any errors)
modprobe scanner vendor=0x04b8 product=0x011b

sane-find-scanner should now list your scanner twice and scanimage -L
should work.

Bye,
