Edit /usr/local/etc/sane.d/your_scanner_device.conf and put /dev/scanner
on the last line. Make a link to /dev/scanner to the actual device name
you need. I know the docs are not real clear on this. I think I spent
about 4 or 5 hours myself trying to figure this out. Also If your
running X I would install the gimp port and then install xsane. As I
find the interface way cool.
