Maybe I can help someone as I game on this page with a similar problem.
Note I use the 'Debian unstable' distro, but I think this can help Ubuntu users too as Ubuntu is based on Debian.
Problem:
Recently Xsane failed to detect my Epson Perfection scanner.
Fix:
The problem (for me) seems to be in the 'libsane 1.0.19~cvs20070421-1' package.
I downgraded this package with a manual install of 'libsane_1.0.18-6' from Debian testing and Xsane worked again.
My system:
- Debian unstable (well close enough to Ubuntu ;)
- Debian AMD64 kernel: 2.6.20-1-amd64
- Xsane: xsane_0.99+0.991-3_amd64
