Nope, you didn't; because if so you had discovered the "scangearmp"
utility earlier ;-P

No, no, no... I mean, don't do that manually, use "udev" rules as the
forum post states, just don't read the instruction so literally, try to
mimic what it says but making your own conclusions.

There has to be a file ("/lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules") in your
system (this file in included within the package "libsane"), you only
have to make the modifications in there as the post says. If you already
did it so, please post here (or upload elsewhere) the full content of
that file so we can check.
