sane-find-scanner is the command you are looking for

it'll (hopefully produce a line like this:

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9, product=0x220e, chip=LM983x?) at
libusb:001:00 2

if run as a regular user, or like this

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x220e [CanoScan],
chip=LM9832/3) at libusb:001:002

if run as root.

these both indicate a scanner at /proc/bus/usb/001/002

I'm scanning ok as root, but having a bit of trouble letting normal
users scan...  See also the manpage for sane-usb.
