[Tfug] Sane backends

Thanks Predrag, here's what I've got, maybe you can see what I'm
missing. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

HP DV2000 notebook, dual core intel, 2 gig Ram, Ubuntu Feisty 

Included in the Ubuntu install was XSane the graphical interface for
Sane which detects my Canon N650U scanner fine and shows the
Plustek:libusb:001:006 backend. Everything looks good at this point, the
application starts and appears to be normal, but when I try to acquire a
preview or scan nothing happens, no lights, no motors, nothing, it
simply times out and cancels.  

The fact that there are no apparent errors is what really has me
stumped.
