Not necessarily, although if your other devices do, I would say that the scanner probably would, too. Still, try issuing $ sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog and then plugging in your scanner. If the scanner is being detected, something will definitely show up in there. Also, what does $ lsusb say when you have the scanner plugged in?
