Yes, you are both right, I had made a slight mistake in the USB ids.
Now the scanner is recognized over ethernet as well as over USB. The 
difference is that I can actually scan over ethernet, but get an error 
when I try over USB.

I sent the debug output I get to Gernot and we are currently trying some 
things to see why scanning over USB does not seem to work yet. Since I 
was not sure whether to post all those log files on the list was OK, we 
took part of the discussion offline.

Gernot suspected that the USB problems might be related to my version of 
libusb. I was using the latest Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64 and the libusb with 
the development packages that come with the system (0.1.12).

In order to be compatible with the system Gernot uses, I installed a 
Debian Sid VM. Gernot also suggested to compile sane aginst libusb 1.0.8 
instead of libusb 0.1.12, but so far I haven't succeeded in doing that. 
configure always tells me that it didn't find libusb and that it will 
compile without USB support.

Is there any trick to compile sane against libusb 1.0?

I won't be available until next week, but next week, I have planned to 
get my hands on a Windows XP machine so that I can provide some info 
acquired via USBSniffer
