I'm having the similar (but not identical) difficulty with a Benq (Acer)
3300U that worked perfectly under Red Hat 7.1.  After upgrading to Red
Hat 9.0 and the latest SANE packages (compiled, not Red Hat packages) I
get the following behavior:

Looking in /proc/bus/usb/devices I find:
===================begin /proc/bus/usb/devices listing=============

===================end /proc/bus/usb/devices listing===============

So the scanner is seen by the kernel and the usbfs system.

===================begin sane-find-scanner output==================
 # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make
sure that
  # you have loaded a SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a5, product=0x20b0) at /dev/usb/scanner0
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a5, product=0x20b0) at libusb:001:003
  # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be
supported by
  # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

  # Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports

  # detected by this program.

  # You may want to run this program as root to find all devices. Once

===================end sane-find-scanner output====================

Okay, sane-find-scanner sees it.

===================begin scanimage -L output==================
device `snapscan:/dev/usb/scanner0' is a Acer FlatbedScanner22 flatbed
scanner
===================end scanimage -L output====================

Okay, so scanimage says it's there.

According to the Sourceforge page (http://snapscan.sourceforge.net/),
the Acer/Benq 3300 uses either the "u222v067.bin" or "u176v046.bin"
firmware files. Looking at the CD that came with the scanner I find the
first one (u222v067.bin), but not the second one:

===================begin listing of CD firmware==================
/mnt/cdrom1/u174v041.BIN
/mnt/cdrom1/u176v042.bin
/mnt/cdrom1/u222v067.bin
/mnt/cdrom1/u34v110.bin
/mnt/cdrom1/u96v121.bin
===================end listing of CD firmware====================

I copied the "u222v67.bin" file to /etc/sane.d/firmware/Benq_3300U and
modified the /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf file as shown below:

===================begin /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf================
#------------------------------ General
-----------------------------------

# Change to the fully qualified filename of your firmware file, if
# firmware upload is needed by the scanner
 firmware /etc/sane.d/firmware/Benq_3300U/u222v067.bin

# If not automatically found you may manually specify a device name.

# For USB scanners also specify bus=usb, e.g.
# /dev/usb/scanner0 bus=usb

# For SCSI scanners specify the generic device, e.g. /dev/sg0 on Linux.
# /dev/sg0

If I run Xsane  at this point it hangs.  

Setting SANE_DEBUG_SNAPSCAN=255 and running scanimage I get the
following messages:

Libusb is something new that Red Hat 7.1 didn't have. Any clues as to
what I'm missing?  I'm sure it's something simple.
