If you read the text sane-find-scanner prints you will find out that
this just means that your scanner was detected by the kernel. This
doesn't necessarily mean, that it is supported by SANE or was detected
by a backend.

A rather interesting information would be which scanner you use :-)

This is an Agfa Scanner (from the vendor id)? From snapscan.conf I
guess you have a SnapScan e40? Looks like it is supported.

If you run scanimage like this:

SANE_DEBUG_SNAPSCAN=255 scanimage -L

you should get more information about what's going on.

The snapscan maintainers will probably be able to provide more help.
Maybe you can fins usefull information here:
