It is very weird that the SG_GET_SCSI_ID ioctl does not work: Could you
check, if /dev/scanner -- should be a symlink -- indeed points to a
device file of some SCSI device (ideally, to the scanner's device file)?
And if so, do you see any "suspicious" output in /var/log/messages?
Finally, can you run sane-find-scaner with SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_SCSI=255 and
send us the output?

And which SCSI adapter and which adapter driver are you using?
