'sane-find-scanner' shows nothing but the output of 'lsusb'

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0924:4220 Xerox
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 045e:0084 Microsoft Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

xsane gives the same error I have quoted earlier.

If it is:

Tried out the above option also but no success.
