Could you run sane-find-scanner in very verbose mode (as suggested by 
Henning in his answer to the mailing list):

sane-find-scanner -v -v

This should hopefully give some information.

According to http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids the vendor ID 0475 is 
"Relisys/Teco Information System" and not NEC, but this is probably not 
significant -- there are a lot of scanners that are produced by one 
company and sold by an other.

According to http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html there only seem 
to exist SANE drivers for Relisys SCSI scanners. The Relisys USB 
scanners mentioned in the list (0475-0103, 0475-0270) are all listed as 
"probably unsupported". And this one is (0475-0100) not mentioned, 
either under Relisys or NEC.
