Installing the software
sudo su
aptitude update
aptitude install xinetd sane-utils

Note: To run any of the commands between the lines, you must be in the sane user space. To do so, do as follows:
At the Pi terminal, type the command: sudo su
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Setup the software:
RUN=yes
RUN_AS_USER=saned

To start the sane software:
/etc/init.d/saned start
su -s /bin/sh - saned

To get the manufacturer and the name of your scanner:
lsusb
scanimage -L
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Allow the sane software to write to the Documents directory:
chmod 777 Documents
