The scanner should show up in 'cat /proc/bus/usb/devices' even=20
when no scanner driver is loaded. I suspect that something is
wrong with your cable. You write that you tried both ports,=20
can you also try a different cable?=20

Before you can run any Sane frontend, you need to see the=20
scanner in the devices list.=20

Depending on how recent your kernel is, you may not have to
provide the vendor and product ids as paramaters to modprobe.
Once the scanner shows up, try to load the scanner module
without any parameters. If the entry in devices lists the
scanner driver, you are all set, if it does not list the
driver, then add the IDs.
