The scanner is found at /dev/usb/scanner* if the kernel driver has
deteceted it. If it's found there, it has precedence over libusb.
So if sane-find-scanner lists the device at both /dev/usb/scanner* and
libusb, and you try to use libusb specifically, you'll get a "Device
busy" error because the kernel driver already claimed that device. If
you really want to use libusb, "rmmod scanner" may help. I don't know
if that "device busy" error is caused by that problem, however.

Bye,
