The version of sane-backends is more interesting.

While the CX5400 isn't mentioned in our lists it looks like the epson
backend knows it.

Does "scanimage -L" as root find the scanner?

I guess that's what sane-find-scanner says (not xsane). SANE can work
with parallel port devices but sane-find-scanner can't detect all of
them. But how is this realeted to your USB scanner?

A single line containing just "usb" should be enough.

This won't work as the USB ids are hexadecimal, not decimal. Add a
"0x" before the numbers.

I'd be surprised if you had a "/dev/usb/lb0" device. I've never heard
of such a device.

Are you sure that you haven't changed the config file in the mean time?
