With the same LiDE25/computer I was also able to get successful scans with scanimage (from the sane-utils package).
To scan an image into the file image.pnm I used this: scanimage > image.pnm This resulted in a small scanned area from the corner. To get a full page scan I used the -x and -y switches: scanimage -x 215 -y 297 > image.pnm I also tried 'quiteinsane' but it too failed like xsane and xscanimage. I consider this bug important enough to keep me from upgrading the rest of my machines.
