Let me see if I understand you; you can't user your scanner with Linux + GIMP because it's not found in the dialog?

Erm... I guess you have to load the drivers or modules for your scanner, if they are already compiled, or recompile your kernel with those drivers. This is assuming that your scanner has a linux driver/module, which it may or may not have.

Does the scanner work with any other applications in Linux? What distro and version of Linux (kernel, and the distro) are you using?

ln -s ~/.gimp-2.2/plug-ins/xsane ///bin/xsane
restart the gimp
