Is your scanner supported or recognized? I recall having similar 
problems with an Epson 2480 scanner. It was not recognized as a scanner 
but using ugen0 worked. You should also check permissions on the usb 
devices, otherwise you have to scan as root.

If the scanner is supported using the ugen device then it is a question 
of patching a few files to get it recognized. For the Epson 2480, I 
submitted this bug report:

this may give you an idea of what it's about.
