Then most probably your scanner wasn't detected by the kernel. You did
apply the kernel patch provided on the web page and loaded the scanner
module? Is the scanner detected? You should see it in
/proc/bus/usb/devices with a "driver=usbscanner". If it shows up as
"driver=(none)" the usb scanner driver doesn't know your scanner. Look
at man sane-usb on howto use modprobe options.

Look at the FAQ on the viceo page. Your link problem is mentioned and
it's explained how to enable debugging.
