If the scanner is plugged in, what do you get when running
the /usr/bin/sane-find-scanner command in a terminal?

Very likely. If you run "lsusb" as root with the scanner being plugged in,
what Bus/Device numbers does it print? For example:

  Bus 001 Device 004: ID 04a9:1909 Canon, Inc. CanoScan LiDE 110

If you then substitute your Bus/Device numbers in the following command
appropriately, what do you get when you execute it?

  getfacl /dev/bus/usb/001/004

Which may be an important detail. There's another list for XFCE:

It could be that the XFCE Spin is missing something in its setup.
