A reboot was not needed in my case. Let's check some permissions (this
is on my parents lenny where the scanner is installed):
$ ls -l /usr/bin/xsane # though I doubt these will be wrong
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 642500 2008-04-11 20:24 /usr/bin/xsane
$ ls -l /dev/bus/usb/001/
total 0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 189, 0 2008-04-27 11:57 001
crw-rw-r-- 1 root scanner 189, 1 2008-04-27 11:57 002

Andrei
