Powercycling the scanner should be fine.
What happens if you run Xsane? Does it find anything?
Can you tell from the logs if your scanner is being recognized at all?
Is it being added under /dev/sgX? Does it log any errors?

I switched to Wheezy from Xubuntu 8.04, so yes, the problems were only
in Wheezy, but I don't think that helps you.
Reading "Information about SCSI scanners"
from here: http://www.sane-project.org/README.linux
might not be a waste of time. It should at least help you figure out
what's going on.
