I am not sure that I understand...I can't find any library udev/hal/
  I thought that hal was deprecated by all  major distributions.

I tested to create /etc/udev/rules.d/40-scanner.rules
containing the following (values from lsusb 04c5 0132e):

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04c5", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0132e", 
ENV{libsane_matched}="yes", GROUP="scanner"
  but that did not solve my problem. Then I tested to create 
/etc/udev/rules.d/91-local.rules
with the following content (also tested with MODE="0664"

SYSFS{idVendor}==04c5", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0132e", MODE="666", 
GROUP="scanner", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"

I am stucked here
