Did you run that as root or as a regular user?

If you ran it as root, it's very likely a permissions issue and you
should ask what is needed to make things work for regular users on your
distribution's mailing lists/forums.

Could you be a bit more specific?  What application did you use?  How
did it not work?  As in, what did you expect to happen and what actually
happened.

Thanks.  I gather that you are using the third-party epkowa backend with
a non-free binary-only plugin to scan with this device.
