Type:
export SANE_DEBUG_SNAPSCAN=255  (if you use the snapscan backend)
xsane

Check the log on your screen for errors.

Above mentioned fault seems about your par port, strange if you have a
usb scanner. Maybe disable some backends in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf could
help(place # before backend name), check also man sane-snapscan and
check /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf
