Just FYI: I have a very old Epson Perfection 1660 that is recognized by Xsane in Debian. I do think I had to modify a config file (epson2.conf) in the directory /etc/sane.d/, adding "usb" and "net autodiscovery" (with no quotes.) but this is unique to my setup. You might have a look to see if there is a config file for your manufacturer.<br>

Not a Scribus problem, and if it any comfort for you, I have<br>
Ubuntu-9.04 with xsane etc and it happily finds my ancient Scanmaster<br>
X6<br>
<br>
I installed a beta of 10.10 and it had SimpleScan which did not<br>
recognise the scanner. I just haven't tried installing all the xsane<br>
stuff to see if the Scanmaster shows up<br>
<br>
As someone suggested, go to the Ubuntu forums, or maybe there is a<br>
SimpleScan forum.<br>
