:xscanimage
[xscanimage] No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something
           different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and
           detected by sane-find-scanner (if appropriate). Please read
           the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ,
           manpages).
:sudo xscanimage

The messages above plus the fact that scanimage -L produces the same 
message as above suggests to me that the system stil needs to be made 
aware of the scanner. I just not able to figure out where to do it.
