What happened was that I tried the "Scanning" option under Graphics in the main app menu. That said that no scanner was detected. Then as root
I typed 'locate sane' to find out if there were any config apps or any-
thing. Found 'sane-find-scanner' and ran this one and it also said that
I had no scanner and that it parport scanners weren't supported).
Then I typed 'xsane' and to my surprise, up popped the sane frontend, with my scanner showing and allowing me to scan. Nice one! But then I scanned, saved and of course, becuase I was root, the file isn't open to any other user.
Tried it then under a normal user log in.....sane reported that there were no scanners found.

What did you do to make xsane find your scanner when logged in as a normal user?
