I installed xsane; it can not locate a scanner either. It seems likely the ultimate cause is in some lower-level component. Please reassign as appropriate.
I have disks connected via a usb interface. While that may contribute to the problem, it also means that I can't just disable the subsystem if it gives me access to the drives.
