Thanks for the tip and suggestion(s)..
Here is what I see when I run 'same-find-scanner' as root:
"found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0, product=0x2005) at libusb:001:002 # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage."
However, I don't get much when I run 'scanimage -L'.
But I do have an indication that a scanner exists at - /proc/bus/usb/001/002"
Don't know if any of this is good or bad news..

sane-find-scanner is the command you are looking for
What for example is a scan command to find lets say, all USB devices? In particular of course, for the HP Scanjet 3570C.
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
Possibly USB does not work well with FC2?
I'm scanning ok as root, but having a bit of trouble letting normal users scan... See also the manpage for sane-usb.

As root, execute
chmod a+w /proc/bus/usb/001/002
Unfortunately, until a bug is fixed, you will have to do this each time you reboot. Note the digits are specific to your system as determined by executing scanimage as you did.
Hope this gets it working.
