I have a Canon Lide 50, OS X 10.6.8When trying to scan from Photoshop CS 3 there is an error about not finding the scanner.
I have run some commands in the Terminal and I need help to interpret the results.
Thanks

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).

MacBook:~ CGH$ sane-find-scanner


  # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
  # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
  # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.


  # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
  # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.


found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x2213 [CanoScan], chip=GL842?) at libusb:002:002-04a9-2213-ff-ff
  # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
  # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.


  # Not checking for parallel port scanners.


  # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
  # can't be detected by this program.


  # You may want to run this program as root to find all devices. Once you
  # found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access permissions as
  # necessary.
