At this point if the correct scanner is selected (I don't recall you
mentioning the brand/model) just click on finish. And as it has been
suggested by someone else check that you don't have the permissions set
to strict in /etc/sysconfig/security. Also check /etc/sane.d/dll.conf
and make sure you model is uncommented (remove the # character from the
start of the line).

This should show on the first screen that shows the scanner selected.
