use dmseg and check that the scanner was actually
detected by the scsi driver. My scanner (hp sj3c) had
to be turned on before the computer and completly
warmed up before the kernel would detect it (meant
turning on the scanner 3 minutes before booting
linux!).
Also make sure permissions for /dev/sg0 allow user or
group access, or run find-scanner as root.
