I tried to recreate, but I get the "No scanners available" message when I do so.. Thus, this does work on my box at least.

This looks like your running virtualbox -- is usb enabled for the virtual machine?

(not the original poster) I am running VirtualBox with USB passthrough, and using a connected scanner works, and with no scanner connected I get a proper error message...
