What do you mean by "has it doubts". Is it found by sane-find-scanner
or is it not found? If it prints something like that:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x055f, product=0x0219) at /dev/usb/scanner

and the vendor- and product ids are correct than it's detected
correctly.

That should be "product" not "producr" but I guess you found out.
Please show us the output of cat /proc/bus/usb/devices if the scanner
was not detected by sane-find-scanner.

Either /dev/usb/scanner0 doesn't exist or it doesn't represent your
scanner.

I guess your kernel scanner driver just has not detected the scanner.
What is in syslog when you do the above mentioned rmmod/modprobe
commands?
