No file neither directory names /dev/scanner  (but there are /dev/scanner0 and 
scanner1 ...  in /dev/usb)

The cat /proc/scsi/scsi command provided the answer :

Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: PLEXTOR  Model: CD-R   PX-W1210A Rev: 1.10
  Type:   CD-ROM                           ANSI SCSI revision: 02


Strange enough because there is no other scsi device on my PC than the scanner 
(SCSI ID = 6), the plextor writer exists but is IDE.

I disabled all the lines in dll.conf but I still am unable to scan, even as 
root, the same and everlasting "no device avalilable" when I start sane or 
Xsane.

I don't know if this is important but anytime I start Xsane, he asks me for 
agreement on licence before checking, as far as I remember, this question 
used to appear only the first time sane was launched, so is it possible that 
he fails to find/make his configuration file ?
