This is a new install F-16/64 recently updated. Xsane is unable to

It appears to be detected as a USB device:

I do not usually have trouble getting this scanner working, normally
just yum install xsane and it's ready to go. Not so today however
and of course I needed it working half an hour ago!

Need help troubleshooting.

Thanks,

Bob

I would check for other sane packages - some have device drivers. Install them all to be sure
